Q: How do I inspect my roof?

• <div><p>You can start inspecting your roof from the ground by looking for unevenness in the roof lines and slopes. Keep an eye out for broken, damaged, or missing shingles, and look for visible gaps where the roofing material meets exterior walls or roof penetrations, like your chimney. If you&rsquo;re comfortable getting up on your roof and using the necessary safety equipment, you can get a closer look at these areas to identify signs of damage. If you notice any potential issues, it&rsquo;s best to call in a professional to confirm your findings.</p></div>

Q: Are foundation cracks covered by homeowners insurance?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance usually doesn&rsquo;t cover foundation cracks. They are considered normal wear and tear that every home undergoes. Your foundation in general is likely covered for things like fire and water damage, but most companies don&rsquo;t insure damage caused by settling, shifting soil, earthquakes, and floods, which commonly lead to foundation cracks.</p></div>

Q: How do you detect a septic field?

• <div><p>Start by finding the septic tank, marked by an access lid near your home. From there, the drain field extends outward in a series of trenches. Look for greener, lusher grass, as drain fields promote plant growth due to moisture and fertilizer. You can also check property records, use a soil probe to detect damp soil, or hire a septic professional with ground-penetrating radar equipment to map the drain field&rsquo;s location. </p></div>

Q: What can falsely set off a carbon monoxide detector?

• <div><p>There are a few things that can set off your carbon monoxide detector that aren&rsquo;t an emergency. Low batteries or a malfunctioning system are usually the biggest culprits, but dust and dirt can build up on the sensor and cause issues, too. If you have a single unit that serves as both <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carbon-monoxide-detector-vs-smoke-detector.htm">a carbon monoxide and smoke detector</a>, extreme humidity (like the kind coming from a shower) can accidentally set it off. </p></div>

Q: Can using my realtor’s inspector speed up the home-buying process?

• <div><p>Using your realtor&rsquo;s inspector may potentially speed up the home-buying process in that realtors are unlikely to recommend someone they&rsquo;ve had prior difficulties with regarding scheduling or report turnaround time. There are other factors to consider, though&mdash;you don&rsquo;t want a rushed inspection or a partial report. It&rsquo;s more important that you work with a home inspector who can do a thorough assessment and explain any issues to you clearly.</p></div>
