Where would asbestos be in my home?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-can-i-tell-if-house-has-asbestos.htm">Asbestos</a> can be found in many building materials, especially if the materials were installed more than 20 years ago. Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) can include:</p><ul><li><p>Acoustic ceiling tiles</p></li><li><p>Furnace insulation</p></li><li><p>Home appliances</p></li><li><p>Fire-retardant clothing</p></li><li><p>Cement pipe</p></li><li><p>Pipe insulation</p></li><li><p>Wall and ceiling insulation</p></li><li><p>Vehicle brake pads</p></li><li><p>Vinyl flooring</p></li><li><p>Sprayed acoustic ceilings</p></li><li><p>Stove insulation</p></li><li><p>Patching compounds</p></li><li><p>Textured paints</p></li><li><p>Roofing shingles</p></li><li><p>Siding</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

How often do pipes need to be checked?

• <div><p>We recommend scheduling routine plumbing inspections once a year for an average house. Older homes may need more frequent inspections, while newer homes might get by with less frequent inspections—every two years. Homes with many mature tree species known for extensive root systems also benefit from more inspections, as roots are a common culprit for cracked sewer and water lines.</p></div>

Q: How long does the inspection take?

• <div><p>An inspection can take <b>up to an hour</b>, depending on the type of AC system you have. If you need to add more refrigerant, expect an extra <b>30 to 45 minutes</b>.</p></div>

Q: Does a fireplace make home insurance more expensive?

• <div><p>Wood-burning fireplaces typically make homeowners insurance more expensive, simply because they increase the risk for a fire in your home. Gas and electric inserts are less likely to bring up your insurance rates, but you should always speak with your agent to understand how installing any type of fireplace will affect your premiums. </p></div>

Q: Are home mold tests worth it?

• <div><p>While home mold tests can provide a simple identification of mold presence, they lack accuracy and reliability. These kits may detect mold spores but can't pinpoint the source or identify the type. Professional testing, combined with an inspection, is more comprehensive and leads to actionable next steps. </p></div>
