"Fred was professional and helpful, explaining what he did as he inspected our home. He offered both objective assessment in his report and verbal opinions about risks, when asked. I'd definitely hire him again."

"My home had rodent problems so I called AtticPros to check. They gave me best quote and work was scheduled within a week. Crew were awesome and completed the job with full satisfaction. I saw small mice in garage and called for inspection. Syeed Abdullah came and immediately spotted opening below garage door due to uneven floor. He helped fixed it without any charge and hopefully rodent problem is gone completely. I plan to install camera to watch for any rodent in crawl space and attic and then seek help from AtticPros to resolve the issue."

"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

Generally, foundation cracks and repair are not covered by standard homeowners insurance policies. This type of damage is often considered normal wear and tear or a result of poor maintenance, which is the homeowner's responsibility. For example, damage caused by settling, shifting soil, or drainage issues is typically excluded.

However, there are exceptions. Coverage may apply if the foundation damage is a direct result of a covered peril, such as a house fire, a burst pipe, vandalism, or a vehicle accident. Coverage for natural disasters like earthquakes and floods often requires a separate, specific policy or add-on.

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.

Garden windows can add value to your home and are an attractive feature for potential homebuyers. These windows add a custom look to your home and usable shelf space for homeowners with a green thumb. You’ll likely recoup your investment when it comes time to sell.

Homeowners insurance may cover damaged floor joists, depending on your policy. Insurance typically covers issues from storms, fires, or water damage from burst pipes. However, don't expect your insurance company to cover damage from wear and tear, poor maintenance, or termites.

You know if you have a skunk hole if you can smell the skunk’s musk. Skunks have a strong odor even when they aren’t spraying due to threats, and you may smell it coming from under a building or another hiding spot, such as a shrub or wood pile. They may also dig shallow holes around a lawn in search of food.
