With AmeriSpec's General Home Inspection we inform our clients what is wrong at the time of inspection, what to be budgeting for and some basic home maintenance tips. While recently on single family home inspection 4-5 of the homes windows had moisture stains in and around the sills and corners. After looking closer the weeps holes were full of debris not allowing the rain water to drain. This is very common and easy to correct. Start outside and locate the weep hole and where they drain. Using a pipe cleaner remove the dirt or debris from in or around the weep hole. Then go inside open the window and shop vac the window track. Once clean pour some warm water into the track and continue till clean. Florida's weather is brutal on our homes exterior. Especially here in the Tampa Bay Region, keeping the exterior of your home painted and sealed is key.
