Why do I need a Healthy Home Check?
Frequent Healthy Home Checks are an important part of homeownership. While the majority of homes are inspected when purchased, families live in homes for years before selling. During those years, the home settles, ages and undertakes wear and tear, causing the condition of the home to decline. Most homeowners aren’t aware of the toll that life can take on a home and a Healthy Hone Check aims to educate homeowners on the current condition of their home and equip them with a mitigation plan to help them live healthier, safer and happier in their homes.
Moreover, Healthy Home Checks can help homeowners:
- Avoid unexpected surprises and save thousands on costly repairs
- Gain up to 10% more in resale value
- Improve mood, sleep and overall health
- Take control and lead a healthier life in their homes
How often should I get a Healthy Home Check?
It is recommended that homeowners get a Healthy Home Check at least once every two to three years to ensure their continued health and safety in their homes. Depending on a few factors, including the age, location and condition of the home, your WIN home inspector may recommend getting a Healthy Home Check once every year as well as other preventive measures such as Radon Testing, Mold Testing, and Water Quality Testing.
