"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."

"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

Asbestos is commonly found in certain older homes, depending on the time period in which they were built. Asbestos use in home construction began in the 1920s and peaked after World War II before being limited by legislation in the ’70s, so a house constructed in 1880 is unlikely to contain asbestos, while one built in 1950 is much more likely to. Research a home’s history to determine the time period when it was built and any renovations made since.

Do a little background research on a few certified HVAC companies before choosing the best one for your job. Look for things like how long the company has been in business, and check their online customer reviews.

When choosing an inspector, also ask to see a sample inspection report. A professional inspection report should detail all the areas and components of an HVAC system, provide findings, and include any recommendations for repairs. Finally, find a contractor you’ll feel comfortable with who can address any questions or concerns you may have after the inspection.

Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.

The unseen issues with a home are often the ones that turn out to be the most stressful. While inspections aren’t a legal requirement, they can highlight significant issues, such as damaged foundations, excessive mold, leaky basements, or problematic plumbing. These can cost thousands of dollars to repair, and the work can be invasive.

Knowing these things that fail a home inspection in advance allows you to decide if you want to proceed with the purchase. The seller may even cut back the sale price to help cover any renovation expenses or take care of them before closing.

There are many things to look for when buying a brick house. Here are some of the key things you should pay close attention to.

  • Lintels: Look for cracks, holes, displacement, or corrosion

  • Mortar: Check to see if the mortar is old and crumbling, in need of repointing, or new. Also check to see if the mortar has a professional finish.

  • Walls: Check along each side of the house. If a wall is bowing outward, this indicates a severe issue such as foundation damage or that the walls are ready to fall.

  • Cracks: If there are stair step cracks in the brickwork, this indicates an unstable foundation.
