Exterior wall penetrations need to be sealed to keep the water out!

A most common condition that we find during a Home Inspection, is that exterior wall penetrations haven’t been sealed against water entry. At locations where various appurtenances e.g. water piping, electrical wiring or conduit, gas piping, etc. pass through the wall, the gap around the material needs to be caulk-sealed. It may not be the most important, or the most harmful of condition we find, but it certainly can be harmful and it has the potential to cause water-related damage to the home; if it has already caused any such damage, then it is obviously an important issue. Usually, the corrective action is simple and inexpensive to implement. And, whenever we see these types of deficiencies, it makes us look just a little bit closer for other related issues. So be sure that all exterior wall penetration are well-sealed to keep the water out!

Another satisfied Home Inspection client from Knightdale, NC

Our client, Willette, forwarded us these comments about her Raleigh Home Inspector and her Home Inspection that we performed last week on the New Construction home that she is purchasing……

“Dear Gary,

You were wonderful today. More importantly you were very patient with me. Which is very important to me. I was able to ask you anything without feeling like it was a stupid question. You are very down to earth.”

We Thank Willette for her comments…….

Clear, concise, and effective communication between a Home Inspector and their client is of the utmost importance. There are never any silly questions and all Home Inspection findings should be communicated using “plain ole’ language”……That’s our story, anyway……and we’re stickin’ to it!
