"Joe was great! He was timely and did a thorough inspection of our first home. His report was easy to read and I really enjoy the on-going support I receive from the automated re-check newsletters every month his company sends out."

"My boyfriend and I were so pleased after our inspection with Richard. He was so thorough and explained everything so it was easy for us to understand. We left our inspection feeling more confident about being first time home buyers! After we met him for our inspection, he sent a great follow up email that provided a summary of everything he went through during the inspection, and the report itself was super helpful. I would highly recommend!"

"Andy was amazing! He worked with us as if we were his own kids. He offered so much advice and insight into owning a home from resources to what to expect in the future, checking out our home thoroughly and very comfortable to work chat and work with. We not only got our home inspected, by the time he left we had a full list of resources that will be very beneficial for us as we move forward with buying the rental we are currently in. Absolutely love this guy, he did an excellent job inspecting our home, took photos, discussed everything with us as we went through the home and is writing up a report for us to be able to keep and understand our home better. Very much would recommend to a friend."

"Shaylee was great to work with. My wife and I recently bought a home and wanted the piece of mind knowing we didn't have a mold problem. Shaylee returned my call within a day and was able to come to our home within two days. She explained her testing process and let me tag along during the inspection. Within 24 hours we got our report back and Shaylee called to go over the report."

"We hired LBS to inspect our home and identify potential issues. Adam was thorough and professional. He found some defects we weren’t aware of and even spent extra time on areas we wanted a more thorough evaluation. The final report was helpful and easy to follow. We recommend Adam and LBS!"

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

Beyond having an inspection, it’s important to do chimney maintenance at least annually to be certain the chimney is safe to use. Cleaning the flue of any built-up particles, creosote, and soot reduces the risk of fire. Fortunately, the cost of hiring a pro to do a chimney inspection often includes a chimney cleaning, so you may not have an extra expense for maintenance.

Homeowners insurance may cover chimney leaks, repairs, or replacement, but coverage depends on the cause of the damage. If the chimney is damaged by a sudden, covered peril like a lightning strike, storm, hail, fallen tree, or an unexpected fire, your policy is likely to cover the costs. However, insurance generally does not cover damage resulting from normal wear and tear, old age, or a lack of proper maintenance, such as failing to perform regular cleanings and inspections. If a fire or other damage is caused by a known issue you didn't address, the claim may be denied. Additionally, some policies may have specific exclusions for events like high winds or earthquakes.

A home inspection typically takes between two and three hours, though the total time can range from 30 minutes to half a day. The exact duration depends on several factors, including the home's size, age, condition, and location. Other variables that can affect the timeline are the complexity of the layout, the accessibility of various components, the size of the surrounding grounds, the inspector's experience, and whether it is a full home inspection or a more limited structural inspection. For a more accurate time estimate, you can ask your potential home inspector to review the specifications of the home beforehand. You should receive the completed inspection report within one to four days of the inspection.

While the air inside your home should have some moisture—the ideal humidity level is between 30% and 50%—too much moisture can lead to issues. Some ways to tell if there’s too much moisture in your home include condensation inside your windows, mildew growth in the bathroom or mold on surfaces, peeling paint, or an uptick in allergy symptoms.
