A Home Health Audit from HomeFAQS is a comprehensive, room-by-room diagnostic checkup of your property. Much like a physical exam for your body, this audit identifies minor issues before they turn into expensive repairs, ensures all systems are running efficiently, and prioritizes safety for your family.
Here is a breakdown of what a Home Health Audit typically covers:
1. Safety & Security Check The auditor ensures your homeās primary defense systems are functional.
- Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Testing units and replacing batteries.
- Fire Extinguishers: Checking expiration dates and pressure gauges.
- Lighting: Inspecting exterior security lights and interior path lighting.
- Child/Pet Safety: Identifying loose cabinet latches, unanchored furniture, or exposed outlets.
2. Energy Efficiency & Building Envelope This phase focuses on keeping the "good air" in and the "bad air" out.
- Weatherstripping: Checking for gaps around doors and windows.
- Caulking: Inspecting seals in wet areas (bathrooms/kitchens) and exterior joints.
- Insulation & Filters: Verifying HVAC filter cleanliness and checking for obvious drafts nearĀ vents.
3. Plumbing & Moisture Control Water is the leading cause of home damage. The audit looks for "silent" leaks.
- Leak Detection: Inspecting under sinks, around toilets, and at the water heater base.
- Drain Performance: Testing the speed of drainage in showers and tubs to catch early clogs.
- Exterior Drainage: Checking that gutters are clear and downspouts are directing water away from the foundation.
4. Electrical & Smart Home Health Ensuring your homeās power and connectivity are stable.
- Outlet Testing: Checking for loose "plugs" or non-working GFCIs in kitchens and baths.
- Appliance Check: Listening for unusual noises in fans and inspecting visible dryer vent connections.
- Connectivity: Testing Wi-Fi dead zones or smart device responsiveness.
5. Structural & Cosmetic Integrity Small cracks or loose hardware can lead to larger mechanical failures.
- Hardware Check: Tightening loose door handles, cabinet hinges, and towel racks.
- Wall/Ceiling Inspection: Identifying new drywall cracks or signs of ceiling moisture.
- Deck & Patio: Checking for loose boards or masonry issues that could cause trips.
