Today marks the first day of winter, which means colder temps, shorter days, and extra stress on your home. From drafty windows to frozen pipes and ice dams, winter has a way of finding weak spots fast. A little awareness and seasonal maintenance now can help prevent chilly surprises later.

🎄☃️ Holiday reminder from the road. Inspector Lou spotted a business with a hose spigot that was not winterized, resulting in a cracked pipe spraying water into the street. Bitter cold can damage unprotected plumbing fast. Remove hoses and winterize spigots to avoid costly surprises this season.

Lou stopped by Grounds For Sculpture and thought he’d check out the “Chamber of Internal Dialogue.” Turns out, it was a little too real… The moment he stepped inside, all those inspection thoughts came rushing in - roof flashing, double taps, and GFCIs - oh my. Safe to say, Lou made a quick exit.

Like Shaggy said – “it wasn’t me.” Inspector Lou may have been there, but he wasn’t the one testing out that rusty backyard zip line. Let’s just say gravity did its job, the zip line did not, and the only thing really bruised was some pride.

This inspection ended with a view too good not to share. A stunning summer sunset glowing behind a field of sunflowers was the perfect backdrop to wrap up the day. At HouseMaster Home Inspections, every home has a story, and sometimes the scenery is just as memorable as the inspection itself.

When a toilet isn’t secured properly, every little wiggle crushes and deforms the wax seal. Over time, that can let water escape, sometimes visible but often hidden. This will cause serious damage to the flooring and framing below.
Don’t let a loose toilet turn into a royal pain.

Dryer lint is great for starting campfires not house fires. Nearly 3,000 home fires start each year from dryers, mostly due to clogged vents. Clean and inspect yours regularly. Keep lint in your go-bag, not your vent.

Flush your water heater yearly to remove sediment and extend its life. Don’t forget the anode rod- it corrodes so your tank doesn’t! Replace every few years to prevent rust. A little maintenance now can help you avoid a heated situation later.

During a recent inspection, we uncovered a newspaper dated October 1943 - its front page reporting an air raid over Berlin in the midst of #WWII.
It’s a powerful reminder that every home holds more than just walls and wiring- sometimes, it holds stories from another era.

How much is too much? 🌿
Landscaping boosts curb appeal, until it starts taking over your home.
Vines and shrubs against siding trap moisture, hide damage, and attract pests.
👉 Keep 12” between plants and siding
👉 Don’t bury weep holes with mulch
👉 Foundations need space, not shade
