Home inspection in Packwood.

Deferred maintenance, mostly. Packwood's population is down roughly a sixth since 2000, and in towns on that trajectory houses more often carry a roof, furnace or service that was nursed along rather than replaced. So we date every major component and put a realistic remaining-life read next to it, rather than passing anything that still happens to run. Vacancy also matters: a house that sat empty gets checked for dry traps, rodent entry, frozen-split plumbing and moisture that built up with no one there to notice. Jefferson County is EPA Radon Zone 1.

Plan on two to three hours for an average home; larger, older or multi-unit properties run longer because there is simply more to document.
