Here are a few home issues that you should pay attention to in order to avoid problems in the long run:

Sagging Floor

You must pay immediate attention to a sagging floor, as it may be possible that it is a result of a leakage in the bathroom or the kitchen. Do not delay the repair work for long, as it can cause structural deformity, which may require extensive repair work. Your best bet is to get a home inspector to have a look at the damage.

Sagging Roofline

If you are living in a house that hasn’t been renovated in a while, then a sagging roofline may mean that the raw materials have dried out. Other possible reasons could be the corroded sheathing, or the connection might have got affected. You will need a professional to assess the entire situation, and to have a look at the attic area.

Asbestos

If your house is more than 40 years old, and you have a radiator in the attic or the basement, then there are high chances that you may have asbestos pipe insulation.  If you see a film around the pipe, then you should call an asbestos removal company right away. Do not touch the pipes, as that can be very harmful for your health and can even prove to be fatal.

Condensation on the Pipes

The basement is usually the coolest area of any house, because the ground naturally insulates it. One disadvantage of this is that the warm air from the surfaces can result in dripping, which can lead to molding issues.  To make sure that this problem doesn’t occur, close all the vents on the outside, and get foam pipe insulation.

Critters

You know that you have mice infestation problem if you see signs of chewing and droppings near the vents, ducts, and pipes. The best way to deal with this problem is to get a professional exterminator.

Sounds from the HVAC

Your HVAC should not be making any unusual sounds. If you hear any loud thumping, squealing, screeching, or bumping, then it is time to get an HVAC expert to have a look at your system.

Dripping Faucets

Dripping faucets may not seem like a biggie, but they add up to your water bill. Thoroughly look under the sinks for signs of leaking and call in an expert for repairing the damage.

Mold

If you see mold in unusual places, like the ceiling or the walls, then you should hire a professional to have a look at the situation. The expert will let you know whether you can clean up the mold yourself or will need the help of a remediation company.

Peeling Paint

Peeling paint can cause lead poisoning, so it is always a good idea to get the walls primed before applying a fresh coat of paint.

Shaky Stair Railings

These can be very dangerous if you have children in the house. Make sure that you tighten the railings in order to prevent any accidents.
