"Ken is very thorough and reviews all aspect of a property. I especially liked that he was not in a rush to finish and move on to the next customer. He is patient and will answer all your questions. The report he provided was detailed and addressed all the items he discussed verbally during the inspection. His fee was very reasonable considering his time."

"Ben was very responsive, even at odd hours and always took my calls to answer any questions I had. He did a very thorough inspection at a great price and helped me find a pest inspector as well. I would highly recommend him. He took extra care in areas I was concerned about and made recommendations on what repairs could be critical."

"Jeremy was a pleasure to work with. He designed a complicated deck renovation for us that included fire places and lots of added weight. He was available to the craftsmen during the whole process and made numerous adjustments as needed. I would recommend Jeremy and Ground to Structure without hesitation."

"Want to go on record to say that service was excellent from initial contact and a thorough timely evaluation and appraisal with supporting documentation. I found the work to be very professional and was done in an expedient fashion. Company was very transparent in pricing and I found their actual pricepoint to be more than fair for the final rendered report. That said, I would gladly use this company again if I had the need."

"From the first encounter with Nathan Sealy who inspected our crawled and gave us a quote, to Daniel, Derrick and Dom who did the installation work, we could not have been happier with the services provided by Tarheel Basement Systems. They were on time, professional, courteous and thorough. They were actually singing in my crawl space while they were doing their work. They were exceedingly pleasant and respectful throughout the entire process. We received updated emails prior to the installation date informing us of what we needed to know before they got there. They showed us pictures of everything and were very easy to work with. There was a financing option which we used for the down payment to expedite the process but we could have opted out as well. If you are thinking about work in your crawl space, I highly recommend this company!"

Home Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

The time it takes to complete a pre-drywall inspection depends on the size of the home as well as the complexity of its build. Most take between one and three hours, but large custom homes or those with complicated HVAC, electrical, or plumbing systems take even longer. Your inspector will examine each room and each system in detail to make sure everything is properly installed and up to code.

In most cases, no. The purpose of an inspection is to highlight any glaring issues with the property that the buyer might use to negotiate or want to rectify after closing, but there’s no law stating the inspection must pass. A buyer can accept any problems identified during a failed home inspection. The only exception would be lender-required repairs, which could hold up the mortgage.

Even if a homebuyer has no intention of using the fireplace installed in the home they’re thinking of buying, it’s vital to know when the fireplace and chimney were last inspected. Aside from learning that it can operate properly, homebuyers will want to know that the structures themselves are sound and won’t affect the integrity of the surrounding home. With full knowledge, homebuyers can then make plans for any necessary repairs before they move in. 

You’ll know you have smoke damage if you notice a lingering smoky odor, see soot or residue, or spot any discoloration of surfaces in your home. If you have any kind of house fire, always assume you have smoke damage and hire a professional who deals with smoke damage to assess the extent of the damage and restore your home to its pre-fire condition.

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.
