The Story Beneath the Structure
Every building has a story. These are real inspection findings from actual properties we have inspected. Each one illustrates something most property owners don’t know—but every buyer should.
Can First Responders Find Your Property?
Most people walk past a building’s address every day without giving it a second thought. Professional inspectors don’t.
A building’s address is one of its simplest features—and one of its most important. It’s easy to focus on the roof, electrical system, or plumbing while overlooking something as basic as address identification.
Clearly visible address numbers help emergency responders, delivery drivers, utility personnel, and visitors locate the correct property quickly. If the numbers are missing, obstructed, faded, or difficult to read from the street, valuable time may be lost when every minute counts.
This is one of those inspection findings that seems insignificant—until you realize it could affect how quickly first responders, utility personnel, or visitors locate the correct property.
