"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."

"The team from Walnut Creek performed this project. We tried to understand if and how dangerous was mold infestation being reported in our apartment. Mr. Kirill Mendelson from Spaulding Decon company explained to us which tests should be performed and how pricy are them. He personally performed all work exactly on time we agree with. He also explain to us possible work to be done to clean up an apartment if clean is needed. We received detailed test information from the lab with a detailed explanation of the terminology being used. Kirill answer all questions we have on those reports. It was our pleasure to work with such a nice and knowing person. I highly recommend using Spaulding Decon company for your testing and clean-up services, especially if those services would be performed by Mr. Kirill. By the way, Kirill speaks fluent English and Russian languages. Thank you, Kirill and Spaulding Decon for the perfect work you have done."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.

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.

Beyond having an inspection, it’s important to do chimney maintenance at least annually to be certain the chimney is safe to use. Cleaning the flue of any built-up particles, creosote, and soot reduces the risk of fire. Fortunately, the cost of hiring a pro to do a chimney inspection often includes a chimney cleaning, so you may not have an extra expense for maintenance.

In most cases, inspection costs are not included in closing costs. The inspection is usually a standalone expense the buyer or seller covers by choice. Closing costs are normally required and designed to cover other costs, such as appraisal fees, title search fees, and attorney fees.

Yes, egress windows must meet local building codes for size and accessibility. Professional installers ensure compliance.
