He made it very easy for us to consider which items the seller should resolve and which ones should be apart of our new "to do" list. Just a few points I appreciated:- he climbed the roof and really inspected its condition- he went into the attic and looked at insulation, venting, wiring, etc.- he dove into the crawl spaces to make sure all was well- he critiqued the building materials and techniques- he gave his opinion on quality materials used in construction vs low-end - he caught a CRITICAL flaw in the furnace venting that I feel most wouldn't have noticed- he used a electronic radon tester, not the cheap chemicals. This is our second home. The first time, the inspector we hired was no where nearly as effective. If you're making a huge investment in a property, don't go cheap on the inspection!

Went well. Only complaint is that they did not replace the metal flashing on/around my roof (other than around the chimney). I asked them to replace it and they refused because they said it was partially under the siding. Didn't make sense to me. Otherwise good.

I contacted the provider on July 27 and he came out the next day. He went up on the roof and inspected all areas as well as checked the exterior of the house. He found broken caulk around either side of the upper part of the chimney and said this was how they were getting in. He also went...

Home inspections can be very stressful all around. Buyers are worried about whether they are getting a lemon, sellers worried about what will be found and how much it will cost them and the agents wondering if they'll lose the deal over the findings of the inspector. We aim to relieve some of that stress. Thoroughness is our watchword. If we can access it we will inspect it. For our buyers this means that they know they are making the most informed decision they can. When we do find a defect, rather than just making a check mark on our report we explain why it's a defect and suggest realistic remedies. This great for sellers as they aren't getting hit with unwarranted repair demands. For the agents, as a licensed Realtor I know where you're coming from, my goal is to help all parties "save the deal" that everyone's worked so hard for.

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts
By nature, two-prong outlets aren't grounded—but the box they run to might be, which makes them safer. The safest way to test if an outlet is grounded is to purchase a circuit tester, which cost about $20 at home improvement stores.
If you discover your outlet (or outlets) aren't grounded, know that this greatly increases your risk of personal injury and electrical fires. You may want to consider installing new three-prong ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. On average, the cost to install GFCI outlets is about $210 per outlet.
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.
Annually, especially before the heating season, chimneys require an inspection to uphold conditions and maximize safety.
Annual inspection prevents leaks, blockages, pressure issues, or other problems from developing.
Chimney leaks may be covered by homeowners insurance, but it depends on the cause and the type of homeowners insurance you have. For example, if your chimney starts leaking after sudden extreme weather (like a lightning strike or wind storm), your insurance is more likely to cover it. But if your chimney problems are due to normal wear and tear or a known issue that you didn’t fix, your insurer might not pay for it.
