Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Services typically take 1-2 hours, depending on the stove’s condition and accessibility.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

Prepare to leave your home for a long absence by making sure small appliances and electronic devices are unplugged. You should also shut valves to your sinks, dishwasher, and washing machine. Set your thermostat closer to outside temperatures or a minimum of 55 degrees Fahrenheit, stop your mail (or have someone pick it up), and put at least one light on a timer.

If your pipes are deteriorating and leading to frequent repairs or ongoing leaks, it's worth it to repipe your house. Faulty pipes can lead to costly problems, like leaks, water damage, and mold growth. Investing in new piping can buy you anywhere from 50 to 100 years or more of stellar plumbing while saving you from repairs and expensive water bills, so it's a worthy endeavor. Not to mention, new plumbing can increase the overall value of your home.

Make it easier for your inspector to do a thorough assessment by preparing your home ahead of time. That includes:

Noting any signs of pests around the home
Removing obstacles in the way of the attic, basement, plumbing, garbage, and other key areas that inspectors will need to access
Keeping children and pets away from inspection areas
