"It was a pleasure working with Craig and Greg at Wise Inspections. They were able to schedule my inspection right away and at my convenience. It was a thorough inspection with a "Same Day" report! I was contacted by several managers after the inspection to check on my level of satisfaction and they even helped me with another type of inspection issue afterwards, all at very competitive prices! I highly recommend Wise Inspections!"

"The mold testing and inspection was professionally done over the course of a 2 hours span. The results were ready within a few days and we had passed. The report was extensive including photos of the meter reading that were good. I am selling this property and can feel confident that there will be no repercussions in the future. I recommend Protocol Inspections highly!"

"I called J&B Waterproofing for a water leak from an exterior wall that was extremely hard to find. I had several companies previously that simply could not detect the leak. When John and Bobbie came they did a thorough inspection and found the leak was coming from an upstairs balcony when heavy rains would blow in from the east. They totally sealed the balcony and that was the end of the leak issue. I had them inspect and seal the windows of my house just to assure my home was totally waterproof. They worked very neat and cleaned up any mess that was made. Both John and Bobbie and the crew were very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I would absolutely recommend hiring them for any type of leaking issue in your home. Lynda Evans"

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

There are no strict rules for who is responsible for covering repair costs after a home inspection, as the issue is highly negotiable, except in cases of mandatory repairs. Major issues discovered during the inspection often lead to a renegotiation. The buyer might ask the seller to make the repairs as a condition of the sale, but it is more common for the buyer to use the estimated repair costs as leverage to lower the asking price. The seller may agree to lower the price to compensate the buyer or agree to fix the issues before the sale is complete. However, in a competitive real estate market, a seller might refuse to cover any repairs, knowing that other buyers may be willing to purchase the property as-is.

Yes, in most cases, you can negotiate and make a counteroffer after a home inspection. If the inspection reveals issues with the property, you can use these findings as leverage to reduce the purchase price. Your counteroffer should account for the estimated cost of necessary repairs, and it's important to find a reasonable balance to increase the chances of the seller accepting. The main exception is if you waived the home inspection contingency to make your offer more appealing. In that situation, while you can still have an inspection done for your own information, you have no contractual recourse to make a counteroffer based on the results.

Home inspections can reveal many different issues that could end up costing buyers thousands of dollars or more post-closing to rectify, so what a buyer is willing to pay for a home largely depends on the findings of the home inspection. Major issues like foundation damage or structural problems could significantly bring down the selling price. A “clean” home inspection that reveals no issues may make the home more enticing to buyers, potentially raising the selling price.

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.

Ideally, no one will live in a house with elevated radon levels, as prolonged exposure increases the risk of serious health issues like lung cancer. However, homes with radon can be made safe through mitigation systems, such as active soil depressurization. Testing for radon regularly and addressing high levels helps ensure a safe living environment.
