"Bill was very good at explaining what he was doing and the condition of the building inspected. Bill was very patient with the tenants, allowing them to get ready for work or school, and giving them space to function while still doing a through inspection. The end report was well laid out, had meaningful comments, and was supported by plenty of pictures. I strongly recommend In And Out Home Inspections, especially for new home buyers who have never been through a home inspection before."

"Mark and helper climbed their ladder outside to the Soffit under the roof overhanging. They cleaned the vent and ran a brush all the way down to the clothes dryer. Now my clothes are dry and the amount of dust has increased due to the opened pathway. Any dust that came outside was cleaned up. Great job. Thanks!"

"Want to go on record to say that service was excellent from initial contact and a thorough timely evaluation and appraisal with supporting documentation. I found the work to be very professional and was done in an expedient fashion. Company was very transparent in pricing and I found their actual pricepoint to be more than fair for the final rendered report. That said, I would gladly use this company again if I had the need."

"I helped my daughter with this crawlspace encapsulation work on her house. I solicited 3 quotes and it was an easy choice to go with Basement Waterproofing Nationwide. From the initial inspection and quote with Tim, the financing and finally the work with Will and his crew, everything went well. They completed the job to my expectations, answered all my questions and kept me informed all along the way. They actually finished the job in 3 days instead of 4. I highly recommend giving them a chance."

Home Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

No, homeowners insurance typically does not cover the cost of removing a dead, sick, or rotting tree that is still standing. Insurance is designed to protect against sudden and unexpected accidents, whereas a tree dying or rotting over time is considered a maintenance issue. Coverage usually only applies after a tree has fallen and caused damage to your property.

Yes, your homeowners insurance can cover water damage. Just how much your plan covers depends on the company and plan you chose, so read the fine print of your homeowners insurance plan to see how much your insurance company might cover, document the damage, and contact them to submit a claim and have an assessor inspect the damage.

You can test your ductwork by hiring a technician to attach a vacuum to the ductwork near the HVAC unit and put the vent system under pressure. Your pro can use a duct leak tester to measure the amount of pressure that's escaping. 

You can also do a DIY test using an incense stick or smoke pencil. With the HVAC system running, pass the stick or pencil across the ductwork. Pay attention to the movement of the smoke. When you notice it changing, it could be a sign there’s a leak or bad connection in the duct.

The same conditions that can generate creaking sounds in your home can also create a whole range of other sounds, many of which are just as strange. When the materials your house consists of move in any way and any amount, they can rub against each other or the fasteners that hold them in place. A random cracking sound from time to time is usually just a response to these movements.

For most homeowners, a plumbing inspection costs $100 to $500. It depends on the location, the type of inspection, and the size of your home. A simple visual inspection will cost up to $200, while a camera inspection that checks your underground sewer lines can cost more than $1,000. Nonetheless, this may still be a better option than tearing up your underground plumbing to find the problem.
