What does a home inspection miss?

Home inspections evaluate the structure — foundation, roof, HVAC, plumbing. They don't measure indoor air quality, check water heater scald temperature, map water damage risk points, or assess fall/fire hazards for the people living inside.

What is a Healthy Home Baseline?

A Healthy Home Baseline is a comprehensive safety and environmental assessment that covers air quality screening, water risk mapping, fall and fire hazard checks, and scald prevention. It gives you a clear inventory of what's right, what's risky, and what to address first.

How much does water damage cost homeowners?

The average water damage insurance claim is $15,400, and 22.6% of all homeowner property losses are water-related. Most water damage comes from preventable causes like old washing machine hoses ($20 to replace) or missing leak sensors ($30 each).

You got the inspection.
But did anyone check if the home is safe to live in?

Home inspections evaluate the structure. A Healthy Home assessment evaluates the environment — air quality, water risk, fall hazards, and fire safety. The things that affect the people inside, not just the building.

A home inspection tells you about the house. A Healthy Home assessment tells you about the risks to your family.

Your inspector checked the foundation, the roof, the HVAC. But they probably didn't measure your indoor air quality. They didn't check whether the water heater is set above scald temperature. They didn't map where a single burst hose could cause $15,000 in water damage.

That's not a failure of the inspection — it's a different scope. Home inspections protect your investment. A Healthy Home assessment protects your family.

What your home inspection didn't check

🌬️

Indoor air quality

VOC levels from new paint, flooring, and furnishings. CO₂ from poor ventilation. Particulate matter from nearby construction or traffic. None of this shows up on a home inspection.

💧

Water damage risk

22.6% of homeowner property losses are water damage. Old washing machine hoses, corroded supply lines, missing leak sensors — the things that cause $15,400 average claims.

🌡️

Temperature & scald risk

Water heaters set above 120°F. Radiators without guards. Exposed hot pipes. These are risks that affect whoever lives in the home — especially children and older adults.

🏠

Fall & mobility hazards

Step heights, lighting gaps, bathroom grab bar opportunities, pathway obstructions. Whether you're 30 or 80, these matter — and they're easy to fix early.

A new home is the best time to get a baseline

"We moved in and assumed everything was fine. Six months later we had a washing machine hose burst while we were at work. If someone had just pointed out the hose was 12 years old, we'd have replaced it for $20."

When you move into a new home, you're starting fresh. That's the perfect moment to establish a safety baseline — before habits form around hazards you don't know about.

A Healthy Home Baseline gives you a clear inventory of what's right, what's risky, and what to address first. Many things can be fixed the same week for less than the cost of a single insurance deductible.
