Portland, Oregon · moisture, heat pump, and wiring survey profile
Portland buyers loved the built-ins and left uneasy about a basement furnace, a newer heat-pump condenser on the north wall, and partial knob-and-tube that was “mostly abandoned.” The listing expired after an inspection period filled with requests for invoices that were never organized.
Rain-soaked crawl spaces and mossy gutters are normal on the Eastside; they still belong in a maintenance survey. Record dehumidifier runtime, whether the dryer vents through a long crawl run, and the age of the water heater squeezed beside the washer. Kitchen appliances are a mixed European-compact set that conveys with the sale.
A craftsman survey should also note sash-cord windows, storm-window storage, and whether bathroom fans actually terminate outdoors—small items that become large credits when a home returns to market in a wet climate.
