The typical Pre-Purchase inspectionThe Pre-Purchase inspection is the typical vehicle for finding any hidden problems that could cost a substantial amount of money after one takes possession of a pre-owned home. Before committing to a real estate transaction, the inspection tells you what significant problems may exist. Rather than waive the home inspection condition out-right, or cancel the deal as not satisfactory; you may modify the offer to reflect which repairs need to be performed before the deal can be closed. Here is what often happens. The buyers waive the clause for a home inspection because they are excited about getting this particular house. Now the fear sets in. What did they buy? The notion of a home inspection is behind them and it would be a significant cost in any case, often $300 to $500 and more. Well, now there is an option. Enter, the SMART Program for a fraction of the cost of a home inspection. Powered by the expertise of an assessor trained in home inspections, this package uses similar techniques but with a different focus and certainly different contracts. The SMART Program is targeted toward any home owner, and concentrates on safety and maintenance issues first and foremost. In this way, whether you have been in your home for many years, or just purchased it yesterday, you can now have an assessment of the building in order to make it better. 
Older homes get their electrical supply from a pole on the street. This comes to a mast like this one on the roof or attached to the side of the house. A characteristic sagging loop in the cables should be evident just before entry into the mast. These wires are too tight and can cause water to make its way to the electrical panel in the basement.
