Efflorescence on a Home Inspection

9/25/2015

Here we see a great home inspection picture of efflorescence. Efflorescence is basically minerals (a lot of calcium) that comes in with moisture and builds up on the foundation walls. This is typical to see and is often not an issue.

In this month's home inspection photo we see a set of basement stairs that are in good shape (for an older home) but that are missing handrails. Handrails are an important safety item and should be installed.

Dryer Safety Tips - With dryer fires on the rise, what are some ways that you can protect yourself and your family from a dryer fire?

In reality, the steps to a safer home in regards to a dryer fire are pretty simple and logical.

  1. Clean the lint trap = Preferably after every use.
  2. Clean the inside of the dryer - This area is often forgotten, but the lint trap does not catch everything
  3. Check and clean the dryer hose - This is one of the main areas of concern. Lint build-up and heat in this area are a real hazard
  4. If you have a gas dryer, check for leaks - A gas leak is an obvious fire hazard, so take the time to have a professional check this periodically.
