"Mike was able to come less than 24 hours from my call to assess our situation. We'd had a water heater die and it flooded two rooms. He is very knowledgeable. Based on his inspection and thermal imaging, he did not recommended further testing. He did find moisture and explained how to improve the issue. Companies charge a fee for each site tested (and many recommend at least three). So I appreciated that he was honest and didn't charge for unnecessary work. The expense was limited to the travel and consultation fee."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.

In most cases, the most severe issue a home inspection report could identify is a structural problem, specifically related to the foundation. Foundation repairs are often the most expensive and intrusive repairs to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. You should ask questions during your home inspection about all of the issues your home inspector identifies, but you’ll likely need to think most about foundation problems and how they affect what you’re willing to pay for the home—that’s if you’re willing to move forward with the sale at all.

Yes, suggesting repairs, gutter cleaning, and sealing as needed.

The unseen issues with a home are often the ones that turn out to be the most stressful. While inspections aren’t a legal requirement, they can highlight significant issues, such as damaged foundations, excessive mold, leaky basements, or problematic plumbing. These can cost thousands of dollars to repair, and the work can be invasive.

Knowing these things that fail a home inspection in advance allows you to decide if you want to proceed with the purchase. The seller may even cut back the sale price to help cover any renovation expenses or take care of them before closing.

The size of your home, whether it’s a structural inspection versus a home inspection, and the inspector’s experience and skill level will dictate how long a home inspection takes. However, inspections are generally completed in 30 minutes to half a day.
