Kitchens

Kitchen Floors Typical materials used for kitchen floors are ceramic tiles and linoleum type products. Some people will use laminate or hardwood but they are harder to maintain and can become slippery when wet. Carpet is hardly ever found in a kitchen as it can hold moisture and bacteria.

Kitchen doors and windows are important to operate to ensure there is no hidden damage. Ensure thermal seals are not leaking as this can be an expensive repair.

Plumbing- Some of the problems you may encounter in your kitchen are leaking or loose taps, improper S trap installed, leaking traps, and improper venting.

Inspect any built in microwave to ensure it is properly vented. Many exhaust fans are not properly hooked up to an exterior vent and continue to vent into the kitchen.

Common Defects - Kitchen cupboard doors are loose or missing, damaged flooring, missing or noisy stove exhaust, noisy or broken garbage disposal, missing or in-operative GFCI outlets and loose counter tops.
