BLOG How Seasonal Changes Affect Home Inspections Sep 12, 2024

As the seasons change, so do the considerations for home inspections. Understanding how seasonal changes can affect the inspection process can help you better prepare for your upcoming inspection with Lira Home Inspections.

Spring In the springtime, homeowners may start to notice issues that have developed over the winter months. The melting snow and spring rain can reveal water damage or leaks in the roof, foundation, or basement. It's important to address any water-related issues promptly to prevent further damage.

Summer Summer is the perfect time to inspect the exterior of your home. The warm weather allows for a more thorough examination of the roof, siding, and deck. It's also a good time to check the HVAC system, as it will be working hard to keep your home cool during the summer months.

Fall As the leaves start to fall, it's important to clear them away from the gutters and downspouts to prevent clogs and potential water damage. Fall is also a good time to inspect the heating system to ensure it's ready for the upcoming winter months.

Winter Winter can present its own set of challenges for home inspections. Snow and ice can make it difficult to access certain areas of the home, such as the roof or exterior walls. However, winter is a good time to test the insulation and windows to ensure your home is ready to keep you warm and cozy.
