OLDER HOMES

 

Buying an old home in Oregon can be daunting.  These homes have usually gone through many stages of  remodeling.  Older homes often still house knob and tube wiring, which doesn't coincide well with the insulation that is used today.  Also, old galvanized pipes last an average of 80 years before they  have rusted almost closed from the inside out.  In addition,  the duct work was often sealed with asbestos materials.  These are just some of the things that can be concerning when you are looking to purchase an older home .
