Renovating a home? Don’t let hidden issues cost you. Here are real examples we’ve seen that could turn into major problems if not fixed fast:

1. Rooftop Debris - Abandoned equipment left on the roof can cause leaks, structural damage, and safety risks. Always ensure rooftops are cleared after any demolition or renovation work.

2. Exposed Electrical - Loose, unsecured electrical wires in unfinished ceilings can pose serious fire hazards. Wiring must always be properly grounded and protected.

3. Foam as a Plumbing Fix - Spray foam should never replace professional plumbing seals or fittings. This type of fix is unsafe and won’t pass inspection.

4. Open Wall Outlet - Unfinished electrical outlets with exposed wiring and insulation create risks for fire, injury, and inspection failures.

5. Misaligned Solar Panels - Solar panels must be installed cleanly and precisely. Misalignment could void warranties, decrease efficiency, and cause water intrusion.
