When you book a home inspection, you expect us to check the roof, plumbing, electrical, foundation—all the essentials.
What you don’t expect? A forgotten stash of cash in the attic. A 1980s time capsule. Or… a fully functioning disco ball in a crawlspace.
Welcome to The Lost and Found Chronicles—where the unexpected is part of the job, and the weird becomes wonderful. At Kelly Inspection Services, we’ve seen it all (and then some), and we’re here to share the unbelievable things a home inspection can uncover.
🕵️♂️ What Do Home Inspectors Really Find?
We’re not treasure hunters—but sometimes it sure feels that way. While most inspections are straightforward, every now and then, something unusual pops up. Here’s what we’ve unearthed:
🎒 Forgotten Belongings
From wedding albums and vintage toys to old safes hidden in closets, we’ve seen personal history tucked away in crawlspaces and behind false walls.
Pro tip: If you’re selling a home, do one final sweep of attics, garages, and sheds—you might just find something you forgot.
🧟♂️ Creepy (and Hilarious) Décor
Skeletons in closets? Literally. One property had a Halloween animatronic that came to life when we opened a storage door. We jumped—you would’ve too.
Lesson: Always check batteries before selling your house. 😅
🐍 Wildlife Adventures
Snakes in attics, raccoons in chimneys, and one very disgruntled possum under a porch.
Home inspectors don’t just check for damage—we check for unwanted roommates.
💡 Hidden Hazards
Sometimes the biggest surprises aren’t funny—they’re dangerous. Like live wires tucked into insulation or active leaks hidden behind furniture.
Weird? Yes. Life-saving? Also yes.
🔧 Why These Finds Matter
Aside from entertainment value, these “unbelievable” finds tell us a lot:
- They reveal hidden issues buyers need to know
- They give sellers the chance to fix or disclose
- They help agents avoid surprises during negotiation
Unexpected discoveries can make or break a deal—and that’s why a thorough home inspection matters.
