What to check on this one

  • Verify roof age and get 4-point inspection; 1956 home likely needs wind-mitigation cert
  • Pull flood zone map (FEMA) and request elevation certificate if in AE/VE
  • Check for polybutylene plumbing (common 1956 era); confirm copper or PEX used
  • Inspect septic system records and well water quality if applicable to property
  • Review cast-iron drain lines for corrosion; assess kitchen/bath plumbing condition

Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
