American Fork Home Inspector

Some of the older homes in American Fork have been remodeled or added onto several times over the years. You might find a back addition with a different roofline or foundation than the original house, even though everything looks like it belongs together from the inside. American Fork was first settled in 1850, and many of its older neighborhoods are now surrounded by newer developments built on what used to be farmland.

When inspecting a home in American Fork, we pay particular attention to where additions connect to the original structure. Roof intersections, flashing and exposed foundation areas can tell us quite a bit about how the work was done. Missing flashing or signs of moisture where old and new construction meet may indicate something that needs further attention. It’s also worth asking for any available remodeling permits or records. A home inspection can identify visible problems, but we also want buyers to understand which areas couldn’t be inspected and whether additional evaluation is needed.
