<\/p>\n

When Inspecting Older Homes in Orillia we would like to make you aware of some of the issues you may encounter.\u00a0 The\u00a0 Orillia Home Inspector<\/a> offers the following tips which can alert you to some of the pit falls involved prior to purchasing a home.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mice in the attic,\u00a0 jury rigged plumbing, cut rafters and mould growing in the house are just some of the items we have found inspecting older homes.\u00a0 Buyers of older homes are typically either people who know older homes and what to expect, or people who think living in an older home is quaint and have no idea of what is involved in buying or maintaining an older home.\u00a0 In this article the Orillia Home Inspector will address some of the issues encountered in older homes during the home inspection.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Asbestos can be a very expensive product to have removed from your house so it is important to identify its presence prior to purchase.\u00a0 Asbestos can be found wrapped around older plumbing and heating ducts, in drywall, floor tiles and in your attic insulation.\u00a0 The Ontario Government has very strict rules and guidelines on removing and disposing of asbestos, which is typically a Class 2 hazard and requires very specific methods for control and containment of asbestos fibers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Galvanized plumbing is sometimes still found in use in older homes.\u00a0 Most insurance companies will not insure a home with galvanized plumbing as it is normally long past its expected life expectancy.\u00a0 In older homes many home owners will have had most of the exposed galvanized plumbing removed but many times the hard to reach pipes are left in place.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Knob and Tube wiring is dated from the early 1880’s to the 1930 era.\u00a0 This type of wiring is easily recognized by its railway track style layout and porcelain insulators.\u00a0 Again many insurance companies will not insure homes with knob and tube wiring or homes with less than a 100 amp main service panel.\u00a0 Again many home owners have the majority of their homes wiring updated but leave hard to reach areas intact which can lead to an surprise expense for unwary homebuyers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Insects, Raccoons, Rodents and Bats can cause havoc in homes, especially in your attic.\u00a0 Animal feces can be toxic and require specialized equipment to be used during removal from your home.\u00a0 Some bylaws control how you have to deal with removal of protected bat species or raccoons.\u00a0 Identifying the presence of any of these problems can greatly affect your negotiations when purchasing your home.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Aluminum wiring was used for a short period as a replacement material when the price of copper rose in the 60’s and 70’s.\u00a0 The main problem found with aluminum wiring was the corrosion that developed between dissimilar metal\"Aluminum<\/a> connections which caused over heat conditions.\u00a0 Many major home insurance companies will not insure a home with aluminum wiring installed even though you could still build a home and use aluminum wire legally.\u00a0 Aluminum wire was also required to use a larger gauge wire than copper, as the normal 15 amp circuit in copper is 14 gauge, in aluminum it would be require to use 12 gauge wire.\u00a0 Many times during home inspections the Orillia Home Inspector<\/strong> has found that home owners have mistakenly installed 20 amp fuses believing the wire was capable of this load.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Older windows and doors can be very expensive to replace in older homes as they are typically a custom order to fit existing openings.\u00a0 Lead paint is typically present in any pre 1970’s home and special precautions should be made not to contaminate furniture and HVAC systems during removal or older windows and doors.\u00a0 Maintaining older windows can also be a very expensive project, painting and replacing glazing alone is very time and labour intensive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Insulation is older homes is sometimes very minimal and except for your attic, not very accessible.\u00a0 Many century homes have newspaper, cardboard, sawdust and horse hair used as an insulating product.\u00a0 Unless someone else has previously replace your insulation in exterior walls there is probably very little insulation installed.\u00a0 Removing interior wall finishes can be very labour intensive and you also have to consider the leak paint and asbestos products that may have been used.\u00a0 Many older neighbourhoods are now being subjected to Asbestos abatement prior to completing home sale as the costs can be astronomical and sometimes beyond the financial reach of a home buyer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Inspecting your homes structure is very important has any damage or defects can affect your homes stability and any issues will require repair ASAP.\u00a0 Older rock and cement foundations can be crumbling or showing signs of movement or shifting, which will require reinforcing foundations to be added.\u00a0 Removal of supporting walls may have caused settling of buildings with floors sagging or otherwise dropping where supports were removed.\u00a0 Century style homes were not built with building permits and the quality of the homes structure depended on the knowledge and expertise of the builder.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When buying any home the buyers best protection is too educate themselves prior to shopping for a home so that they can make an educated choice based on facts rather than curb appeal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Remember Caveat Emptor – Buyer Beware<\/strong><\/span> is basically the only protection you have once you agree to purchase a home.<\/p>\n
