"Fred was amazing to work with, he works very hard to make sure he helps his customers, I am really impressed by the time and effort he put into the property inspection. I was able to make a decision on the property. It was worth it, I will do it again for another home inspection with Fred and will recommend to my friends and family."

"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

Many experts agree on a twice-yearly schedule for DIY foundation checks and professional inspections every one to three years, depending on the condition of your foundation. Visually checking your foundation twice a year will ensure that it is not damaged during severe summer or winter weather events. Extreme temperature changes impact the soil surrounding the foundation, as do lengthy rain storms. Both issues expose the foundation to excessive moisture, which is not good for its overall health and stability. Call a pro if you notice any damage or changes during your DIY check.

It is generally recommended to schedule a professional plumbing inspection annually for an average home. However, the ideal frequency can vary. Newer homes may only require an inspection every two years, while older homes, or those with a history of plumbing problems, benefit from more frequent annual checkups. Other factors that might necessitate more frequent inspections include having hard water or mature trees on your property with extensive root systems that could damage sewer and water lines. Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues early, preventing costly repairs, and typically includes checking for leaks, inspecting connections, and ensuring pipes and fixtures are in good working condition to extend the life of your plumbing system.

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.

Asbestos is commonly found in certain older homes, depending on the time period in which they were built. Asbestos use in home construction began in the 1920s and peaked after World War II before being limited by legislation in the ’70s, so a house constructed in 1880 is unlikely to contain asbestos, while one built in 1950 is much more likely to. Research a home’s history to determine the time period when it was built and any renovations made since.

Craftsman-style homes are predominantly found in the Western United States, specifically in Southern California, where the style originated. Since the climate was mild and there was access to plenty of natural resources, Southern California became a hub for this style at its inception. That being said, if you consult with an architect near you, you can have a Craftsman-style home anywhere.
