Q: What does a home inspection not include?

• <div><p>Normal home inspections do not include sewer lines or septic systems, hazardous materials like radon or mold, swimming pools, electrical systems, or pest problems. Most of these require a separate inspection by a qualified pro in addition to a general home inspection.</p></div>

Q: How long does a foundation inspection take?

• <div><p>A home foundation inspection takes between one and two hours, depending on the size of the house and if the inspector finds any issues that require further investigation. The foundation specialist or structural engineer will evaluate the foundation's condition by inspecting many parts of the home, including windows and doors, trimwork, attic and roof, and interior and exterior walls, as well as the foundation itself. </p></div>

Q: Does a home seller have to disclose asbestos to potential home buyers?

• <div><p>Federal law doesn&rsquo;t require homeowners to disclose the presence of asbestos in their home, but some states and local municipalities may require it. That is why it&rsquo;s important to test an older home for asbestos and other health hazards before moving forward with a sale.</p></div>

Q: If you do the work yourself, how can you be sure your home is still structurally sound?

• <div><p>If you intend to do the majority of the work yourself, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-architect-cost.htm">pay to hire an architect</a> or a structural engineer to ensure your home remains structurally sound. They can help with the planning to make sure everything is up to code and safe for your family. On the other hand, if you&rsquo;re not sure your home will be completely safe when you&rsquo;ve completed the project, let a pro do the job.</p></div>

Q: How can I measure the humidity level in my home without a hygrometer?

• <div><p>While a hygrometer is the most accurate tool for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-check-your-homes-humidity.htm">measuring humidity levels in the home</a>, you can gauge humidity levels using simpler methods. One way is by observing signs like condensation on windows or feeling excessively sticky or clammy indoors, indicating higher humidity. Another DIY approach involves the &ldquo;hair method&rdquo;&mdash;aka placing a few strands of human hair in a closed container with salt for several hours. If the hair becomes limp, it's likely due to high humidity. These methods offer rough estimations, but lack the precision of a hygrometer for accurate readings.</p></div>
