With this website, we hope to supplement and extend the information in House Check: Finding and Fixing Common House Problems, to offer you other resources and websites you'll find useful, and to encourage your comments about how we can make House Check better.

Here, you'll find many of the photos from House Check with detailed descriptions of common house problems. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge the photos.

We will be adding new materials to housecheckguide.com periodically, so please visit us often.

Go to our Book Shop to purchase additional copies of House Check, plus other books and materials, to help you better understand your house.

We invite you to send us any questions you may have about unusual problems you find in your home. Please attach a digital photo of the problem to your e-mail and we will post those problems we find especially interesting on this site with our suggestions on "What to Do."

We also welcome any corrections or suggestions you have to improve House Check. Just click on the Contact Us button.
