Buying in Springwater in May — What To Watch For

If you're buying in Springwater this May, here's what Aamir will be checking:

Spring flooding and basement moisture

Inspector checks: Moisture meter readings on all basement walls, sump pump test

Snowmelt saturates soil — hydrostatic pressure pushes water through foundation cracks

Roof damage from winter

Inspector checks: Drone roof assessment for missing shingles, flashing damage, ice dam remnants

Winter ice and wind remove shingles and break flashing seals — leaks follow in spring rains

Foundation cracks from frost heave

Inspector checks: Foundation wall survey for new or widened cracks

Frost heave can shift foundations — new cracks after winter signal structural movement

Sump pump readiness

Inspector checks: Float switch test, discharge line inspection, backup power verification

Spring is peak demand — sump pump failure during snowmelt causes catastrophic flooding
