Hello, my name is Tony Munoz I am a Home Inspector. I have over 24 years experience in the field, and over 30 years experience in the termite industry, when I perform a home inspection I can determine whether or not a termite inspection is necessary from my findings of my inspection. As I perform my inspection I always take my time and want to do a thorough job. Buying a home or just wanting information on the home you reside in, to me is the most important things to know. I Inspect the plumbing, electrical, roof, foundation, doors, windows, the structure of the home. I also inspect appliances, water heater, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher etc. always keep in mind a home inspection is not a code inspection it's a visual inspection only. When you order a home inspection from me, I also can schedule a Pool, Termite, Chimney inspections Based on Availability. Areas that I cover Merced County, parts of Alameda County, Stanislaus County, San Joaquin County, Mariposa County, Tuolumne County, etc.

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Chimney leaks may be covered by homeowners insurance, but it depends on the cause and the type of homeowners insurance you have. For example, if your chimney starts leaking after sudden extreme weather (like a lightning strike or wind storm), your insurance is more likely to cover it. But if your chimney problems are due to normal wear and tear or a known issue that you didn’t fix, your insurer might not pay for it.

Permit fees sometimes include the cost of a solar panel inspection, but it depends on local regulations. In some locations, the inspection process involves several site visits with a preinstallation, in-progress, and post-installation inspection. We’ve covered the latter. Working with an experienced installer can help you through each step of the inspection process.

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.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

The only way to determine if you have a radon problem in your home is to have professional testing done. You can buy DIY radon test kits, but these are sometimes inaccurate in certain temperatures and humidity levels, and they don’t paint the entire picture in terms of your radon exposure. Scheduling testing once every two to five years is best. You can also look out for the following symptoms, which, according to the American Cancer Society, are symptoms of radon exposure:

  • Shortness of breath

  • Cough

  • Tightness in the chest

  • Difficulty swallowing

  • Hoarseness
