Wood trim in contact with concrete is prone to moisture damage. This home was fairly new. Maybe the builder did it, or landscaper when the concrete was poured. Either way, you want to be aware this so you don't have to replace wood members down the road.
Grading matters!

Don’t Let a Fresh Flip Fool You… Even Gnomes Know Better!

Our little inspection gnome has seen it all 👀—and he’s here to remind you: just because a house looks brand new doesn’t mean it’s problem-free.

✨ Flipped & remodeled homes can hide serious issues, like:
• Poor workmanship behind the walls
• Quick cosmetic fixes covering bigger problems
• Electrical or plumbing shortcuts
• Roofing and foundation concerns
A professional home inspection gives you peace of mind before you buy, not expensive surprises after you move in.

Whether it’s a full remodel or a quick flip, trust but verify—your future home deserves it.

Buying a home is always a big decision—but when that property is listed “as-is,” the stakes are even higher. Many buyers assume “as-is” means “take it or leave it, no inspection needed.” That couldn’t be further from the truth. Just last week a buyer had scheduled, then canceled because they said it was as-is. I explained, that the information provided from a home inspection would be valuable for general maintenance or needed repairs.

In reality, a professional home inspection becomes **more important, not less**

Small Detail, Big Damage: Don’t Ignore Tub Splash Guards!
Most homeowners don’t think twice about the small plastic or tile piece at the edge of a tub… until water starts showing up where it shouldn’t.
At Inside Out Home Inspection, we frequently see missing or poorly installed tub splash guards—and it’s one of those simple issues that can quietly lead to expensive repairs.
Why splash guards matter:
Prevent water from escaping at the tub/shower edge
Protect drywall, baseboards, and flooring from moisture intrusion
Reduce risk of mold growth and rot
Help maintain the integrity of adjacent rooms and finishes
What happens without one?
Water sprays or runs off the shower curtain/door and hits the wall or floor outside the tub. Over time, this can lead to:
Soft or swollen drywall
Warped flooring
Hidden moisture damage behind walls
Costly repairs that could have been avoided
🔍 Inspection Insight:
During a home inspection, we look for signs of water intrusion in these areas especially at tub corners. A missing splash guard is a small red flag that often points to bigger issues.
Installing a simple splash guard is inexpensive and can save you thousands in repairs. If you see water pooling outside your tub after showers, it’s time to act.

**Carbon Monoxide Detectors: The Silent Life-Saver Every Home Needs**
Carbon monoxide (CO) is called the *“silent killer”* for a reason—it’s invisible, odorless, and deadly. The only way to detect it in your home is with properly installed carbon monoxide detectors.

🏠 **Why Are CO Detectors So Important?**
Carbon monoxide poisoning can happen quickly and without warning. Common sources include:
✔️ Furnaces
✔️ Gas water heaters
✔️ Fireplaces
✔️ Gas stoves
✔️ Attached garages (running vehicles)
Without a detector, you may not know there’s a problem until it’s too late.
📍 **Where Should You Install Carbon Monoxide Detectors?**
To keep your home and family safe, install detectors in these key areas:
✅ Outside every sleeping area
✅ On every level of your home (including basements)
✅ Near—but not directly next to—fuel-burning appliances
✅ In hallways leading to bedrooms
⚠️ Avoid placing them:
❌ Right next to windows or vents
❌ In kitchens or bathrooms (humidity can cause false alarms)

**Pro Tips for Maximum Safety**
• Test detectors monthly
• Replace batteries at least once a year
• Replace the unit every 5–7 years
• Never ignore an alarm—call for help immediately
💡 **Bottom Line:**
Carbon monoxide detectors aren’t optional—they’re essential. A small device can make the difference between life and death.
If you’re unsure whether your home is properly equipped, a professional home inspection can help identify safety gaps.

🚿 **Remodeled… but not done right.**

This “updated” shower might look clean at first glance—but take a closer look 👀

Those large gaps along the top edge? That’s not just a cosmetic issue. It can allow:
❌ Moisture intrusion
❌ Hidden mold growth
❌ Long-term damage behind the walls

Proper shower surrounds should be **sealed tight and continuous**—especially at transitions near windows and ceilings. Gaps like these are a red flag that the installation was rushed or not done to professional standards.

💡 **Lesson:** New doesn’t always mean correct.

If you’re buying, selling, or remodeling—make sure it’s inspected by someone who knows what to look for behind the surface.

🌸 **Spring is here, Sacramento! Time to show your home some love.** 🌿

Most homeowners think of inspections only during a real estate deal—but here’s the truth:

👉 **Your home needs checkups too.**

After a long winter, small issues like roof wear, clogged gutters, aging HVAC systems, or hidden moisture can quietly turn into expensive problems. And if you’ve lived in your home for years, it’s even easier to overlook things that have slowly changed over time.

🏡 **A professional home inspection isn’t just for buying or selling—it's preventative maintenance.**

Think of it like this:

* You service your car regularly 🚗
* You go to the doctor for checkups 🩺
* Your home deserves the same attention

A spring inspection can help you:
✔ Catch issues early (before they cost thousands)
✔ Plan repairs on your timeline—not when something fails
✔ Protect your investment and your family’s safety

🌼 **Peace of mind is powerful.** Whether you’ve been in your home 2 years or 20, knowing its true condition is always worth it.
