"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 FAQs, answered by experts

As long as the home inspection reveals no problems with the property’s structure, it shouldn’t be an issue buying an underpinned home. In fact, a properly underpinned property can be more stable than houses that have never had structural issues. However, you could face a higher insurance premium if the property has a history of structural problems. You should always request a structural engineer’s report before making a final decision.

If your home has a forced-air HVAC system, it will also have HVAC duct parts. Air ducts are connected to an HVAC unit and deliver heated or cooled air to each room; your heating and AC wouldn’t work without ductwork.

However, if your house has a boiler or radiator system for heating and doesn’t have central AC, you probably don’t have ductwork installed.

Even if a homebuyer has no intention of using the fireplace installed in the home they’re thinking of buying, it’s vital to know when the fireplace and chimney were last inspected. Aside from learning that it can operate properly, homebuyers will want to know that the structures themselves are sound and won’t affect the integrity of the surrounding home. With full knowledge, homebuyers can then make plans for any necessary repairs before they move in. 

You can test your ductwork by hiring a technician to attach a vacuum to the ductwork near the HVAC unit and put the vent system under pressure. Your pro can use a duct leak tester to measure the amount of pressure that's escaping. 

You can also do a DIY test using an incense stick or smoke pencil. With the HVAC system running, pass the stick or pencil across the ductwork. Pay attention to the movement of the smoke. When you notice it changing, it could be a sign there’s a leak or bad connection in the duct.

If you are considering buying a home with a cesspool, you will need to weigh the potential costs and hassles. Your primary decision will be whether to maintain the existing system or replace it. Maintaining a cesspool involves ongoing expenses for services like aeration, pumping, and cleaning. Alternatively, you could dismantle the system and replace it with a modern septic tank or connect to a public sewage line, which involves significant upfront costs. It is also crucial to check local and state regulations, as some jurisdictions require that cesspools be replaced before a home can be sold. Ultimately, you must decide for yourself if the financial investment and effort are worth it for the property in question.
