"Great all around! The secretary was very friendly and got me an appointment quickly. The inspector himself, Kyle, was awesome. Very knowledgeable, caring, and personable. He was very thorough and willing to spend as much time needed to get the job done correctly. Iâ ve built a good number of houses and dealt with a handful of inspectors and this was by far the best."

"I had CPM come out for my home inspection while purchasing my home. I was even lucky enough to get the owner himself. Aaron performed the inspection very thoroughly and caught some things that were not up to code and dangerous. He was able to articulate the issues in a way that helped me understand and was very helpful through the entire process. I will be using them for my next home purchase and recommend them to anyone in need of a home inspection."

"I didn't realize how horrible my two previous home inspection experiences were until David from PurePoint came over. David was very kind, patient, knowledgeable of the area and home he was inspecting, the history of the city as it related to the types of homes in the area, and very very thorough. My uncle was there to assist me with aiding the inspection process, and after observing David work for a while he joked, "I wouldn't be surprised if this guy pulls out a magnifying glass." David was a sigh of relief from the mediocre-to-sub-par inspection appointments I had previously experienced. He was also clear, direct, and came very prepared. I received the completed report within 24hours. Hire him. Professionals like him deserve to be recognized for respecting value of their work and chosen field."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

The best way to check if a roofing company is legit is by asking the roofer for their license number. They should have no issue providing you with this information if they’re legitimate. You can also look to see if they have an online presence, read reviews, and ask contractors you’ve worked with before if they know the roofing company.

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

Pipes should be inspected regularly so you can catch any red flags early on. Common issues that you might run into with your pipes include clogs, damage like cracks and leaks, corrosion, or other signs of wear. When you stay on top of an inspection schedule, you'll avoid costly problems like burst pipes.

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.

Yes, in most cases, you can back out of your offer if you’re unsatisfied with something in the inspection. However, there is usually no recourse for doing so. The only exception would be if you waived the home inspection, a somewhat common practice to get your offer accepted in a highly competitive market. Waiving the home inspection doesn’t prevent you from getting an inspection, but you usually can’t walk away from the home after the inspection if there’s something wrong.
