  • Inspect plumbing for polybutylene or cast-iron (pre-1995 eras common in 1941 homes).
  • Review tankless water heater warranty and installation paperwork from 2026.
  • Verify all renovation permits pulled with City of Jacksonville.
  • Check for any undisclosed foundation cracks or settling given 85-year age.
