How do I prepare my whole house for a repipe?

• <div><p>Repiping your home creates a large mess, and you won’t have access to water while your contractors are working. To prepare, contractors will cover the floor and furniture with drop clothes. In some cases, they may move furniture to protect it and get it out of the way. They’ll then cut holes in your walls, floors, and ceiling to expose the existing pipes.</p><p>They’ll also turn off your water, but they’ll leave at least one bathroom and the kitchen functioning at the end of the day. You’ll need to plan accordingly.</p></div>

How often do pipes need to be checked?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How does chimney removal impact the value of my home?

• <div><p>Replacing older chimneys or fireplaces, like wood-burning stoves, with something more eco-friendly can actually increase the value of your home. Some homeowners opt to remove chimneys as they pursue LEED certification, which may also increase the value of your home. But in general, many potential buyers actually look for operational fireplaces in homes, so removing a chimney and fireplace could decrease your home&rsquo;s value by up to $5,000.</p></div>

Q: Should I negotiate after a home inspection?

• <div><p>Whether or not you use your home inspection results to negotiate with a seller depends on how badly you want the property, what you&rsquo;re willing to pay for repairs post-closing, and how strong the market is in your area. If a seller has other offers to consider, they may walk away from yours if you try to renegotiate based on your inspection results. Speak with your agent, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-should-attend-home-inspection.htm">who should attend the home inspection</a>, about the best course of action, and consider how badly you want or need the property.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if a house has ductwork?

• <div><p>If your home has a forced-air HVAC system, it will also have <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hvac-duct-parts.htm">HVAC duct parts</a>. Air ducts are connected to an HVAC unit and deliver heated or cooled air to each room; your heating and AC wouldn&rsquo;t work without ductwork.</p><p>However, if your house has a boiler or radiator system for heating and doesn&rsquo;t have central AC, you probably don&rsquo;t have ductwork installed.</p></div>
