What should I look for in a Keys home inspection?

By Steve Conley

Short Answer

Key areas in a Keys home inspection include roof condition, AC system condition (especially for older units), electrical systems (corrosion from salt air), plumbing (galvanized pipe issues), window and door seals, and evidence of past flooding.

Pay special attention to signs of water intrusion, salt air corrosion on electrical systems, AC condition, and roofing. In the Keys, the environment attacks every surface. A thorough inspection will flag issues that would never appear on the mainland.
