Old Floor tiles in Great condition can be left alone

Our home inspection company inspected a home in the Columbus Worthington area a few weeks ago and observed these floor tiles in fantastic condition. Due to age and other indications, they could be asbestos containing. If in good condition no need to have them removed.

Likely asbestos floor tiles in perfect condition in an older home. When in good condition there is no need to remove them. Keep them for the 60’s vibe or cover over them.

Check your Columbus Ohio Deck for Safety

Decks are nice to have on your home. Decks extend the living space of your home to include part of the exterior. Decks however are often not built correctly. When we do home inspections in Central Ohio we often find decks that are in need of repairs and improvement.

Recently there was deck collapse at a Dublin Ohio condo raising awarness of the need for safe decks.

Here is a link to a video an Ohio home inspection company made showing home owners what to look for when checking their decks for safety.

One of the most common issues found with a deck is how the ledger board is attached to the home. Often nailed instead of properly bolted to the home
