Get matched with top home inspectors in Rodman, NY

Q: How can I ensure that the inspector is unbiased?

• <div><p>You can ensure a home inspector is unbiased by doing your research. Verify their work history and certifications so you know they&rsquo;re qualified to be inspecting your home. Read reviews to understand other customers&rsquo; experiences and whether or not they were satisfied with the inspector&rsquo;s assessment. Interview potential home inspectors and ask how they get their clients. If they&rsquo;re not dependent on any one realtor for clients, they&rsquo;re unlikely to risk producing a faulty report just to benefit one agent.</p></div>

Q: Can I visually inspect the ceiling for joists?

• <div><p>A visual inspection may or may not reveal ceiling joists. Examine the ceiling surface for clues like nails, screws, or small dimples used to attach drywall or plaster to the joists. Look for subtle indentations or ridges indicating a joist beneath the surface. Observe any patterns or symmetrical features in the ceiling that could indicate the presence of underlying structural elements. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if my chimney cap is bad?

• <div><p>If you see rust spots or streaks or any physical damage to the chimney cap from the ground, you should hire a professional to inspect and replace it. If it&rsquo;s safe to get up on your roof or near your chimney cap with a ladder, you can perform a closer inspection to identify issues. Additionally, if you know your chimney cap is nearing the end of its life&mdash;usually five to ten years&mdash;or you&rsquo;re seeing evidence of water damage or pest infestation in your chimney, it&rsquo;s a good idea to replace the cap.</p></div>

Q: What are the three main types of inspections for new construction?

• <div><p>The three main <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-inspections.htm">types of home inspections</a> you should always carry out for new construction include a pre-drywall inspection, a post-drywall inspection, and a one-year inspection. The pre-drywall inspection can identify building code violations, issues with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components, and structural issues. The post-drywall inspection can identify damaged building materials, insufficient insulation, and more. An inspection at the one-year mark after construction will identify problems your builder must fix under their comprehensive one-year warranty.</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>
