"It was a simple error and the contractor could not give us a simple diagnostic information. We were not satisfied that he did not give us the diagnostic information before he left. We feel he was giving us the expensive way out and not solving our problem when he left."

"I wouldn’t recommend this company to my worst enemy!!! FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD! They installed two new Lennox systems in my home as well as a tankless hot water heater. The hot water heater leaked and flooded my home causing mold, almost a week of no hot water and no compensation. This year, 4 years later and still under warranty, they misdiagnosed issues with the Lennox Thermostat they installed and then proceeded to charge me FOUR TIMES... Yes FOUR TIMES for service calls... Their ‘customer service’ is awful and the women who work there are completely inept... STAY AWAY!!!"

"In spite of multiple calls about poor grading and drainage, there was no follow through. Phone calls not returned. Our sod died and Passwaters took no responsibility. Contracted for some brush clearing and was charged twice the amount of the quote. Do not recommend!..."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Yes. If a home inspection reveals that the property has major issues or is unsafe, the buyer can back out of the purchase.

The typical inspection period when buying a home—the time you have to conduct a home inspection and either agree to move forward with the sale or back out of it—is around 10 days. The inspection period can range from a week up to around 21 days, depending on the area, the state of the market, and how quickly the seller wants or needs the deal to progress.

If you want to buy a home that has knob and tube wiring, you should get an inspection first. An electrical inspector can take a thorough look at the wiring and make sure that it's completely safe for your home and has no potential to cause fires or disrupt the overall wiring in your home. Never buy a house with knob and tube wiring without first getting an inspection by a certified and vetted electrician.

One of the best ways to know your chimney is good to go on any given night is to simply look up into your flue with a flashlight. If you see a thick buildup of creosote—a shiny, dark substance that looks like tar—it’s best to have your fireplace professionally cleaned before you go ahead with the burn. Additionally, having your fireplace professionally inspected once per year can also help increase your peace of mind and keep your family and your home safe.

You can guarantee that you hire a professional home inspector by reviewing their qualifications, years of experience, customer reviews, and certifications before hiring. If you’re working with a realtor, they can recommend at least one trusted professional home inspector. You can always confirm the credentials of a home inspector by checking for affiliations with organizations like the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors or the American Society of Home Inspectors.
