"Brett was INCREDIBLE. It was a pleasure working with him. We're in the process of buying a house, and he was able to do our home inspection the very next day after we called him, and at the best price compared to competitors. He answered ALL of our questions and went through the house with a fine-tooth comb and examined every area that could be an issue and that would have to be fixed. He also gave us his personal estimation of the house, whether he believed it was a good buy based on what he saw. He has so many years of experience, and it clearly shows in the quality of his work. Would recommend him to anybody in the Pennsylvania and Maryland area looking for a home inspector. "

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Homes should be checked for mold annually, especially if you live in an area with high humidity or frequent rainfall. Inspections are crucial following flooding, roof leaks, or plumbing issues. More frequent checks are necessary if your home has a history of mold problems or water damage. Regular inspections help detect mold early, preventing costly remediation and minimizing health risks, especially in moisture-prone areas such as basements and bathrooms.

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.

Loose shingles, leaks, and structural weaknesses are typical findings.

No, home improvement loan rates typically do not drop during certain times of the year. Interest rates go up and down based on economic conditions rather than on the time of the year. Some banks may offer slight rate discounts around the same holidays every year, but this is a marketing decision rather than a decision based on the time of the year. If you want to use a home improvement loan to fund your remodeling project, the best option is to shop around at different banks for the best rates.

Yes, your homeowners insurance can cover water damage. Just how much your plan covers depends on the company and plan you chose, so read the fine print of your homeowners insurance plan to see how much your insurance company might cover, document the damage, and contact them to submit a claim and have an assessor inspect the damage.
