"Even though this is our 3rd home, I had yet to walk through a full home inspection. I would recommend this be done for all potential homeowners. My inspector, Todd was as thorough as if he had built this home. He is extremely knowledgeable and allows customers the chance to ask ?inspections for dummies? type questions. I was very comfortable and pleased with his intricate knowledge of the home inspection. Finally, his report provided immediately after the inspection is best in class business practices. I would recommend him all day everyday."

"The first thing that got my attention after Devan knocked on door asking if we wanted an estimate was that he didnâ t just give us a number. Devan walked us thru all the material literally showing me each item that would be used and explaining to me how it would help and the purpose it served. Then he amazed me more when he asked if he could go into our crawl space. He did a very thorough inspection even showing me pictures of some of the problem areas. This was one of the biggest selling points on why I chose this company. From start to finish it was a absolutely amazing experience and Devan walked us thru each step of the way. You can judge a company by the people that it hires, based on that information and our interaction with not only Devan who sold us the roof but was the project manager to help make sure everything went smoothly. Dillion also emailed to make sure we were comfortable with everything, and Lauren was very responsive in helping schedule. From start to finish our project took less than a week. Absolutely amazing. As this company advertises it was a â Different Experience â"

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.

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.

As long as the home inspection reveals no problems with the property’s structure, it shouldn’t be an issue buying an underpinned home. In fact, a properly underpinned property can be more stable than houses that have never had structural issues. However, you could face a higher insurance premium if the property has a history of structural problems. You should always request a structural engineer’s report before making a final decision.

A visual inspection may or may not reveal ceiling joists. Examine the ceiling surface for clues like nails, screws, or small dimples used to attach drywall or plaster to the joists. Look for subtle indentations or ridges indicating a joist beneath the surface. Observe any patterns or symmetrical features in the ceiling that could indicate the presence of underlying structural elements.

Yes, suggesting repairs, gutter cleaning, and sealing as needed.
