"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."

"Not only did I need insulation work, I also needed pest control as rat droppings were discovered in the crawl space. Everyone, from Victor who performed the inspection, to Jose (job foreman) and his crew who did the insulation installation and all aspects of the pest control, to Julian (Attic Pros customer service) were all professional, knowledgeable, friendly, hardworking, and prompt. Home repair can be daunting and stressful. The professionals at Attic Pros took away that stress. I highly recommend them!"

"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

A standard roof inspection typically takes one to two hours. The exact duration can vary, ranging from as little as 30 minutes to as long as four hours, depending on several factors. These include the roof's size, complexity, condition, and accessibility. Inspections for very large homes or those with extensive damage will take longer. It's a good practice to ask for a time estimate when you hire an inspector to ensure enough time is allotted for a thorough evaluation.

Yes, most repair services include thorough safety checks to ensure the system operates safely and complies with local building and accessibility codes. You should confirm the specific checks performed with your provider.

Sometimes, issues with the HVAC system or an unbalanced washing machine could be the reason your house feels like it’s moving, but it could also be other factors. If a large truck passes your house or there is construction in the area, your house may feel like it’s moving, but it will be short-lived and not a sign of a larger issue.

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.

You can call a professional septic company to inspect your tank and leach field if you suspect too much weight has been on it. An inspection is a good idea if you recently purchased the home and the septic system isn’t working like you expected. The professionals can determine whether a previous owner damaged it by placing too much weight on it.
