Winter home inspection eight attention you are optimistic
In winter, many prospective homeowners are worried that the inspection of the house is not as convenient and intuitive as in the summer. It is not true. Industry insiders believe that winter inspections actually have more advantages than summer. Zhang Lidong, technical director of Jilin Provincial Building Decoration Engineering Supervision Co., Ltd., has years of experience in inspecting homes. He said that as long as the owners grasp the three disciplines of “carefulness, patience, and concentrationâ€, they must observe the following eight precautions: “Whether the wall is cracked or the heating facilities are installed properly?†In the snowy season, you can rest assured that you can live in your new home and start a good life.
Professionals remind that there are a small number of developers will give the owner a home inspection period, such as 24 hours or 48 hours, so the owner must carefully check the quality of the house after delivery, and found that the problem repair.
note
Whether the wall is cracked or empty
Test method: A major advantage of winter house inspection is that the wall is more dry than summer, so the characteristics of the wall can be more clearly observed, such as whether it is cracked, empty drums, and the degree of dryness of the wall. The unqualified wall quality will directly affect the subsequent decoration, which may cause problems such as wall coverings and latex paint cracking.
Solution: If the wall hollow or cracking area exceeds 1 square meter, please ask the developer to knock out the wall and re-repair it; if the area is not large, the decoration company can ask the decoration company plastering, or a large area of ​​plaster, Mesh belts and so on.
Tips: The owner himself is very simple to test the hollowing method of the wall. He can prepare a small hammer to tap on the suspected wall. The sound is empty and the wall is faulty.
note
Heating facilities are connected properly
Inspection method: In winter, heating facilities are more intuitive than summer, and entering the house with a body temperature is enough. Here, we must specifically explain how to check the heating equipment only for users who pay only 20% of the heating equipment maintenance costs. Open the pipeline well belonging to the owner’s home in the corridor to see if the heating locks and manual cuttings are all installed and the public heating pipes are hot enough.
Solution: The heating facilities are not allowed to tamper with, so they must report to the property or development company.
Tip: The key to the pipe well is to ask the property company in advance; some heating pipes are very hot. Please wear gloves and try the temperature.

Whether the window is leaking is not warm
Test Method: Look at whether the window is tight or not. Winter is probably the best season. After the window is closed, touch the window frame with your hand to find out where the air leakage is. It is easy to check if the edge of the window is complete. It should be noted that when the window is installed, the styrofoam used between the window and the wall is not dense, and it is very easy to affect the indoor insulation. The cement wall on the side of the window frame can be knocked out and the density of the styrofoam inside can be observed. If the gap between the bubbles is large, the heavy blow styrofoam should be dug out.
Solution: The warranty period for glass windows is usually two years, so if something goes wrong, you can directly ask the developer for repair and replacement.
Tips: The density of the styrofoam between the window and the wall is large enough. There is no absolute standard objectively. Therefore, if the gap is large and uneven with the naked eye, it will affect the insulation. It is recommended that the decoration company re-do it.
note
Is hydropower installed?
Test method: Open temporary faucet, sufficient water flow, indicating that the water pipe is no problem. Check the power supply should be equipped with a light pen, short-circuit experiment to see if the fire wire is installed correctly. Note that each button of the main distribution box is responsible for the power supply of which room. The buttons for the kitchen and restrooms have leakage protection devices.
Solution: If the power cord is not plugged in properly, contact the developer to repair it.
Tips: Some people like to use a mobile phone charger to check whether the power is easy to use. But this can only check whether the power supply has electricity, can not find whether the zero FireWire installation has hidden dangers, it is recommended to use a professional electric pen.
note
Whether the entrance door is used normally
Test method: multiple times to enter the door, check whether the door angle and the ground scratch; the door handle, lock point can normally open and close. It should be noted that the installation between the door frame and the wall is firm. Some of the entrance doors will be smaller than the ones reserved by the developers. If the installation is not secure, they will loosen.
Solution: The installation is not firm, dig open the hole to re-stitch styrofoam, seal tight, improve the door life.
Tips: Repeatedly test the sensitivity of the key and the lock. If you have any questions, contact the developer in time.
note
Whether the ceiling or the ground is smooth
Test method: visually, or with a professional level gauge. If there is hollowing in the ceiling, there may be large areas of shedding after renovation. If the floor does not reach the floor installation standard, it will bring difficulties to the decoration.
Solution: If the ceiling is empty, it must be knocked out and redone. If geothermal is not installed, the ground can be leveled by installing geothermal heat, or leveled with concrete, putty, or special floor strips before paving the floor.
Tips: If you want to lay tiles on a large area, you don’t care if the place is flat or not.

Is "Cold Gable" Insulation
Test method: To determine if the cold gables are insulated, they cannot be identified with the naked eye at present. However, in terms of current construction technology, most of the cold gable insulation is not a problem. If you are still worried about the wall being cold and dry, you may be able to make a layer of insulation on the interior walls to provide double protection.
Solution: The interior wall is covered with a 1~2CM constriction plate, which can be insulated in summer and cool in winter.
Tips: In the north, the cold gable on the east side is warmer than on the west side. Therefore, if possible, select the residence on the east side if possible.
note
Gas installation is in place
Test method: The main thing is to see if the gas meter is in place. The installation of gas in most districts does not pose a problem because this project is a special facility and the company will check the risk factors on a household-by-house basis.
Solution: If you find a gas leak or gas meter installation error, please contact the gas company immediately, it is strictly forbidden to demolition.
Tips: To change the gas pipeline during the renovation, apply to the gas company for a declaration.
