Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

The main purpose of a home inspection is to assess the overall condition of a home. It looks at major systems, like electrical and plumbing, and considers the long-term safety of the home. In contrast, a home appraisal sets out to estimate a home’s fair market value, often for lending purposes. At about $350, a home appraisal costs about the same as an average home inspection.

The biggest sign that you should repipe your house is if your pipes are past the average life span. Also, if your pipes are made of lead, polybutylene, or galvanized steel, it's best to repipe your home to avoid dangerous chemicals from leaching into your water supply.

You may also want to repipe your house if your plumbing is constantly having problems with leaks, corrosion, and low water quality. The cost to repipe a house is $1,500 to $15,000.

The only way to determine if you have a radon problem in your home is to have professional testing done. You can buy DIY radon test kits, but these are sometimes inaccurate in certain temperatures and humidity levels, and they don’t paint the entire picture in terms of your radon exposure. Scheduling testing once every two to five years is best. You can also look out for the following symptoms, which, according to the American Cancer Society, are symptoms of radon exposure:

  • Shortness of breath

  • Cough

  • Tightness in the chest

  • Difficulty swallowing

  • Hoarseness

No, a standard home inspection includes the basics and does not offer lead paint testing. Professional lead paint inspectors need specific licenses to perform these inspections, which not all home inspectors have. If you suspect lead paint in the home you are about to purchase, you will need to pay separately to have that done. If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.

Yes, if your home inspection reveals issues with the property you intend to buy, you may come up with a counter-offer. Your counter-offer should consider all necessary repairs and how much they’ll likely cost you. It’s important to find a good balance between your desired selling price and asking price to increase the chances of an offer acceptance.
