Who inspects fire doors?

• <div><p>Certified fire door inspectors should inspect fire doors. These professionals receive training to specifically assess the condition, functionality, and compliance of fire doors. They often hold credentials from groups like the Door and Hardware Institute (DHI) or the International Fire Door Inspector Association (IFDIA). While fire marshals won’t usually do hands-on inspections, they’ll check that doors are being maintained properly during routine safety audits. If a building relies on fire doors for code compliance, it needs someone who understands the details—the difference between a cosmetic issue and a safety failure—and standards to sign off with confidence.</p></div>

Do pot fillers add value to a home?

• <div><p>Yes, a pot filler can add value to a home by attracting buyers with its combination of prestige and usefulness. When building or renovating a kitchen, pot filler installation costs can add value without significantly increasing your overall budget. However, it's important to consider the overall design and layout of your kitchen before deciding to install a pot filler. Unlike other<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/parts-of-stove.htm"> parts of the stove</a>, a pot filler may not be used every day. Pot fillers are most appreciated in larger kitchens with a large distance between the sink and stove. In a smaller kitchen with a sink located close to the stove, a pot filler may seem like an unnecessary feature to some potential buyers.</p></div>

Q: Is rotting wood covered by homeowners insurance?

• <div><p>Most homeowners insurance policies won&rsquo;t pay for the removal of dead, rotting trees. That&rsquo;s because insurance is intended to protect you from sudden, unexpected accidents. So if a tree is sick, dying, neglected, or rotten but is still standing and hasn&rsquo;t caused any property damage, it&rsquo;s unlikely your insurance will cover the cost to have it removed.</p></div>

Q: Are septic tank locations public record?

• <div><p>Septic tank locations are sometimes public record, although it depends on local laws and the property age. Older properties may not have the septic tank information on public record. To check, you can talk to local permitting agencies, such as your local health department, the local environmental department, or the county clerk. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to get the septic distribution box inspected?

• <div><p>A septic system inspection costs <b>$100</b> to <b>$200</b>. Doing so can spot issues early so you can plan for necessary repairs ahead of time and save yourself the issue of a backed-up septic tank. Some septic tank repair professionals do an inspection as part of their yearly maintenance on your septic tank if you choose to pay for that service, but you should shoot to have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-my-septic-tank-be-inspected.htm">septic system inspection</a> completed at least once every two to five years.</p></div>
