"Mike was extremely friendly and professional. I was so happy with how thorough he was with my home inspection. The final report he provided was organized and easy to digest as well as refer back to. I would happily recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for a top of the line home inspection. He is definitely a seasoned professional and clearly demonstrates his knowledge as well as clearly explains topics that are new to first time home buyers. Wonderful!"

Omega Home Inspections understands that purchasing a home is one of the biggest investments that you will make. We provide objective home inspections with context to help you make informed buying decisions. Our home inspection reports are computer-generated and easy-to-read that will be made available to you within 24 - 48 hours of the inspection. The home inspection usually lasts about three hours, depending on the size of the home and systems to be inspected. You are not required to be present during the inspection but you are welcome to attend and follow along with the inspector. We are excited to work for you and ensure you are making a sound investment! (We are not structural engineers and do not do structural inspections, nor do we inspect mobile homes.)

"Stuart is professional, thorough, responsive and very knowledgeable. He patiently answered all of our questions throughout the inspection and we left feeling like we had a great understanding of the home we're buying. As for the inspection report itself, I intend to reference it for months and years to come as I prioritize improvements. Stuart was also able to turn the report around quickly to accommodate the timelines of our purchase. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of home inspection services."

"They same some people are just meant to do the job they're doing...That's Jameson at Another Level Inspection. He is with out a doubt the most thorough, acknowledgeable, friendly, professional in the business. We arrived at our future home and Jameson was already on the roof. Meanwhile our relator said she hadn't seen an inspector be so thorough in 20 years. Jameson took lots of photos, which he later sent us in a detailed report of things that needed attention, including but not limited to things that would need attention 10 years from now. I still refer to that email. My husband is not handy, to say the least. Jameson taught me things about our house that day that are still helpful now, and showed me the ins and outs and every kook and cranny of the property. He really made us feel good about the purchase we were about to make and what to expect. I very much enjoy following ALI social media pages to see his posts about particular finds and what he has going on. After spending our inspection with Jameson, even in this market we would NEVER skip a home inspection. We would recommend ALI to anyone, anytime, anywhere."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

For most homeowners, a plumbing inspection costs $100 to $500. It depends on the location, the type of inspection, and the size of your home. A simple visual inspection will cost up to $200, while a camera inspection that checks your underground sewer lines can cost more than $1,000. Nonetheless, this may still be a better option than tearing up your underground plumbing to find the problem.

How long the home inspection takes can vary greatly depending on the size of the home and the type of inspections being done—the same goes for receiving the final home inspection report. Some inspectors are busier than others, so it may take a little longer. Generally speaking, however, you can expect to receive the report within 1-2 business days after the inspection.

Part of a pre-drywall inspector’s job is ensuring all work done on the home is up to code. If they discover anything that doesn’t comply, these fixes may be required by the local government or by the lender financing the build. Aside from these mandatory post-inspection home repairs, it’s technically optional to make any other repairs—though it’s a good idea to remain proactive about them to avoid a bigger issue in the future.

It’s okay to buy a house with knob and tube wiring if it’s safe, functional, and still in good condition as well as a minimum of 60 amps. However, a professional should conduct an electrical inspection of the knob and tube wiring to ensure it’s up to code as well as safe and functional. However, the usual 60-amp service boxes can’t handle electricity from 100-amp breakers, making it difficult or impossible to power modern devices.

Homeowners insurance policies generally do not cover polybutylene pipes because of the high risk they pose. Some homeowners insurance companies have been threatening to terminate policies if homeowners do not replace them. Review your personal policy to be sure, but it’s a safe bet that they’re not covered—and you should prioritize repiping your home as soon as possible to avoid costly, uncovered damage.
