Common Exterior Conditions Home Inspectors Evaluate During Residential & Commercial Property Inspections

The condition of the property surrounding a home or commercial building plays a significant role in protecting the structure from water intrusion, foundation movement, trip hazards, erosion, and costly future repairs. During every home inspection, commercial building inspection, Property Condition Assessment (PCA), and pre-listing inspection, Structure Check carefully evaluates the property's exterior grounds and site conditions for visible deficiencies that may affect the safety, performance, drainage, or long-term durability of the building.

This educational gallery showcases many of the common exterior conditions, defects, maintenance concerns, and safety hazards discovered during real estate inspections throughout Southern and Central New Hampshire. While every property is unique, these examples provide buyers, sellers, homeowners, investors, and commercial property owners with valuable insight into what professional inspectors evaluate during an inspection.
