π‘ HOME MAINTENANCE TIP: GET A HEAD START ON YOUR CL-100!
Thinking about selling your home in the Charleston area? Now is a great time to take care of a few important maintenance items that can help you prepare for your CL-100 Wood Infestation Report.
A CL-100 inspection looks for evidence of wood-destroying organisms, including termites, wood decay, and certain moisture-related conditions.
β
Here are a few things homeowners should check:
πΉ Check for moisture around bathrooms, kitchens, crawl spaces, and plumbing.
πΉ Inspect crawl spaces for standing water, excess moisture, and visible wood damage.
πΉ Keep gutters and downspouts clear so rainwater drains away from your foundation.
πΉ Look for wood-to-soil contact around decks, porches, steps, and the exterior of your home.
πΉ Check for visible wood damage around doors, windows, and other areas exposed to moisture.
πΉ Address drainage issues and repair plumbing leaks before they lead to bigger problems.
πΉ Keep crawl-space access clear so the inspector can properly evaluate accessible areas.
π Why start early? Taking care of maintenance issues before listing your home can help reduce last-minute surprises, delays, and unexpected expenses during a real estate transaction.
π In the Lowcountry, moisture management is especially important!
Thinking about selling? A little preparation today can make for a smoother transaction tomorrow.
