"Canâ t say enough about Johnâ s home inspection. As first time home buyers we were unsure what to expect with a home inspection, and we were blown away by Johnâ s knowledge and professionalism. He inspected the home thoroughly, explained what he was doing in terms that were easy to understand, and patiently answered our questions. His inspection report was extensive and easy to understand. I would hands down recommend John to anyone looking to get a home inspected."

"I never thought I'd say this about a home inspection but I had a wonderful time during the inspection last week. Mr Csak was very professional throughout the inspection while being so personable, answering all of our questions (and there were many!). His responses to our questions were very detailed and technical, if that's your thing. And if it's not your thing, Mr Csak would ask you "do you want the long or short answer?" He was very detail oriented and walked us through what were the high priority fixes in the property vs ones that could wait. He turned around the report within 48 hours and the report was very well written, had tons of pictures, easy to understand, and had clear actionable items. I also greatly appreciate him telling us that we're free to call him up with any questions pertaining to the property after the fact. One thing I would point out to future customers is that even though credit cards are technically accepted, Mr Csak really prefers Zelle/Venmo (which is technically cash). So be mindful of this especially if you need to plan out your cashflow when purchasing your home. All in all, I would 100% recommend Mr Csak for your home inspection needs. I definitely will be hiring him again for future inspection/consulting needs."

"Bill was friendly, on time (in fact early), and very thorough with his inspection. He shared both the necessary findings and suggestions on how I could go about resolving them, providing options and his expertise. He beat his competitors in terms of price and included things that are typically an additional charge. I very much appreciated how he carried himself and his professionalism. The inspection was in the late afternoon/evening and the next morning he provided the inspection. Would recommend!"

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

It’s a good idea to be present for a home inspection so the inspector has access to anything they need for the inspection and so you can ask the home inspector questions if necessary. You don’t need to shadow the inspector while they’re conducting the inspection—in fact, it’s better if you don’t—but don’t go too far in case they need access to something or have any questions.

A half bath is a selling point, adding about $8,000 to $10,000 to the overall value of your home. Removing it can decrease your home’s value—particularly if you have too few bathrooms for the number of bedrooms. That said, it may not make much difference if the number of bathrooms isn’t a problem. You could add value by utilizing that space differently, like a laundry room or workspace.

In many cases, you can sell your house if it has aluminum wiring, but you are likely required to disclose that fact during the sale. In some cases, your city or area may have banned the sale of homes with aluminum wiring, so you’ll need to update the wiring or arrange for its replacement as part of the sale. In some cases, it will benefit your home sale to replace the wiring system before putting it on the market.

You can test your ductwork by hiring a technician to attach a vacuum to the ductwork near the HVAC unit and put the vent system under pressure. Your pro can use a duct leak tester to measure the amount of pressure that's escaping. 

You can also do a DIY test using an incense stick or smoke pencil. With the HVAC system running, pass the stick or pencil across the ductwork. Pay attention to the movement of the smoke. When you notice it changing, it could be a sign there’s a leak or bad connection in the duct.

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.
