What to expect

Older wiring, plumbing, and roofing alongside the charm — all manageable when identified. See our housing-era guides.

Systems and materials

Knob-and-tube, galvanized supply, clay laterals, and asbestos or lead materials are typical and should be evaluated.

Inspecting to the era

We calibrate the inspection to the home's vintage rather than a national checklist.
