20+ Home Inspections That Uncovered Hilariously Gnarly Issues

Buying a home can be risky affair. Luckily, precautions like home inspections can help you spot most problems before you accidentally purchase a money pit. More often than not, inspections come back clear leaving new owners with nothing to worry about (except for maybe removing some ugly wallpaper). But sometimes, the brave inspectors stumble across some finds so hilariously gnarly that it's a miracle the homes weren't immediately condemned and demolished!

1. Extra Spooky Square Footage

Normally finding out a home has some extra space is a good thing. In this case, the nightmare appearance of this crawl space makes it less delightful. Maybe a job for an HGTV show.

2. Passage to China

Inspector Dave Marier found this seemingly endless hole underneath the parking lot of an apartment complex. One wrong step and he would've gotten the Alice in Wonderland treatment. Curiouser and curiouser.

3. Levitating Column

Nothing but some stucco was covering up this massive problem. Finding out that your home is being supported by nothing would probably be a deal-breaker. Or at least it should be.

4. Creative Foundations

There are somethings you want supporting your foundation. Beams, pillars, and legitimate construction make up the most important elements. Unfortunately, no home can stand on Disney magic alone.
