"Frank was very responsive and communicative leading up to the inspection. In the reminder email we received for our inspection appointment, there was a helpful link that covered what to inspect. During the inspection, Frank was prompt to let us know about higher priority repairs and at the end of the appointment, I had the detailed inspection report in hand. 100% would recommend."

"Very honest engineer. He performed a mandatory seismic inspection that was required for the city of Hayward. There was no foundation issue whatsoever. Before Mr Padir did the inspection I had a retrofit company look at my building and they told me it would cost $58k to fix the problem and I almost fell for it. It turns out that one joist was rotten from a sewer leak that was repaired. It is hard to find honest people these days. I am so glad it is only a cosmetic fix and a sister joist installed next to it to relieve the pressure on the building. Thank you once again Mr. Padir. Excellent job and quick turnaround."

"Dave Osborne, who was assigned my job, is a great guy who explains what has happened and what needs to be done very clearly and understandable by persons not familiar with this type of work. He is very easily available for any questions and communicates well. The work is very professionally done. It takes away some of the stress of what has happened to your home and the complications of dealing with the insurance company, etc. Highly recommended."

"Jake and his wife were amazing to work with. Honestly, itâ s hard to find people you can trust when it comes to home repair or maintenance. Not only was Jake honest and knowledgeable, he was human. He never tried to sell me. He knew our problem, fixed the problem and took every care and kindness with my family. On the business end, I received a quote a day after our conversation and they scheduled right away. They worked with my schedule and finished up in an afternoon. The product works. Our home is built in the 50s and has horrible insulation. Some kind of moisture made our floors buckle and caused an invasion of mold. We had it on our walls, in our mattresses, and on every piece of furniture touching the ground. The exterior walls were slowly changing color. It became unbearable. We did our part and threw away everything that was now salvageable, but Jake came in and itâ s like having a new house. He rendered all of the mold inert and changed the entire feel of our home. It smelled toxic upon entry, and now it feels like home again. I highly recommend working with Pacific Pure. Specifically Jake and Family. It is a service and product you can certainly trust, in a field with plenty of untrustworthy players."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Measure from zero on a measuring tape by placing the metal hook right up against the edge of what you need to measure. You can also latch the hook onto an open edge—of, say, a table—to accurately measure as well. If you begin at the 1-inch mark, you'll need to subtract an inch from your total.

For most homeowners, a plumbing inspection costs $100 to $500. It depends on the location, the type of inspection, and the size of your home. A simple visual inspection will cost up to $200, while a camera inspection that checks your underground sewer lines can cost more than $1,000. Nonetheless, this may still be a better option than tearing up your underground plumbing to find the problem.

A septic system inspection costs $100 to $200. Doing so can spot issues early so you can plan for necessary repairs ahead of time and save yourself the issue of a backed-up septic tank. Some septic tank repair professionals do an inspection as part of their yearly maintenance on your septic tank if you choose to pay for that service, but you should shoot to have a septic system inspection completed at least once every two to five years.

Trained eyes spot subtle indicators amateurs might miss, ensuring issues are addressed before they escalate.

Mobile homes need releveling every so often to maintain their structural integrity. Most mobile home manufacturers recommend releveling every three to five years. To keep the quality of your mobile home up for years and to avoid deterioration over time, proper maintenance is key.
