Q: Should you buy a house that has been underpinned?

• <div><p>As long as the home inspection reveals no problems with the property&rsquo;s structure, it shouldn&rsquo;t be an issue buying an underpinned home. In fact, a properly underpinned property can be more stable than houses that have never had structural issues. However, you could face a higher insurance premium if the property has a history of structural problems. You should always request a structural engineer&rsquo;s report before making a final decision.</p></div>

Q: How often should drywall be inspected or serviced?

• <div><p>Regularly in areas prone to moisture or high traffic to catch issues early.</p></div>

Q: Do repairs include safety checks?

• <div><p>Yes, most services include safety checks to ensure the system operates safely. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: What do the little lines on the tape measure mean?

• <div><p>The small lines on the tape measure either indicate inches, fractions of an inch, or centimeters and millimeters. On the imperial unit side (aka the inches side), the longest lines indicate inches, followed by the next shortest lines that indicate a half-inch, and then the quarter, eighth, and sixteenth-inch. On the metric side, the lines break down meters, centimeters, and millimeters.</p></div>

Q: What issues could a post-drywall inspection uncover?

• <div><p>A post-drywall inspection could uncover many problems that weren&rsquo;t present during the pre-drywall inspection, including insufficient insulation, missing weather stripping, improperly installed plumbing and lighting fixtures, flooring damage, drywall damage, plumbing leaks, aesthetic issues, and more. Structural problems, which are often expensive to fix and are common reasons to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-to-walk-away-after-home-inspection.htm">walk away after a home inspection</a>, are easier to see before the drywall goes up, but a post-drywall inspection may highlight minor issues with house settling and foundation problems.</p></div>
