Haunted or Just a Home Issue?

October brings pumpkins on porches, ghosts in the yard, and creepy costumes galore, but what’s really haunting your home might not just be in your imagination!
As home inspectors, we’ve seen enough “house horrors” to make even Dracula shiver. So, before you grab your candy bowl and settle in for scary movie marathons, let’s shed some light on the real things that go bump in the night… and why a home inspection can keep them from turning into true nightmares.
The “Ghostly” Creaking Floors
Those eerie squeaks under your feet aren’t messages from beyond , they’re usually signs of loose boards or a home settling with age. (Pittsburgh’s older homes are full of character… and a few creaks!) Our inspectors can tell if it’s just normal wear or something more mysterious hiding below.
The Phantom Drafts
Feel a cold chill while watching your favorite Halloween movie? Don’t worry it’s not the spirit of an old homeowner. It’s likely leaky windows or poor insulation. We’ll help you find the sneaky spots where your heat escapes faster than a ghost through a wall.
The Flickering Lights
Haunted mansion vibes? Not quite. Flickering lights can mean outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, or loose connections. We’ll help you catch these electrical gremlins before they turn into something really scary.
The Basement of Doom
Dark. Damp. Smells like it’s been sealed since 1892. If that sounds like your basement, you might have moisture issues or mold beginning to creep in. Our inspections shine a flashlight on hidden water damage before it grows into a full-blown monster.
The Furnace That Moans in the Night
When your furnace sounds like it’s calling from the underworld, it’s time for a seasonal check-up. Routine inspections make sure your heating system is ready to keep your family cozy. No spooky surprises included.
Don’t Let Your Home Turn into a House of Horrors
This Halloween, treat yourself to peace of mind. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just making sure your current home isn’t cursed with costly surprises, a professional inspection can banish the ghosts of home problems before they haunt your future.
Because sometimes… the scariest thing about your home isn’t the decorations , it’s what you don’t know. 🕷️
