Is asbestos commonly found in older homes?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

How can I check for mold myself?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-check-mold.htm">Checking for mold yourself</a> 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. </p><p>Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:</p><ul><li><p><b>Basement</b>: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. </p></li><li><p><b>Bathrooms</b>: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. </p></li><li><p><b>Kitchen</b>: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.</p></li><li><p><b>Attic</b>: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents. </p></li></ul><p></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: How often should I have my gas system inspected?

• <div><p>Consider an annual inspection conducted by a local plumber to prevent dangerous and destructive leaks. If you recently moved into an older home or are concerned about the age of your gas lines, call an inspector for a closer look. You may also be required to call an inspector after your contractor installs a new line for an appliance. </p></div>

Q: Is asbestos a deal breaker when buying a house?

• <div><p>Whether or not to buy a home containing asbestos is ultimately a decision for the homebuyer, and there are several things to consider. When in good condition and contained, asbestos is unlikely to present a health risk&mdash;it&rsquo;s when those tiny fibers are loose and airborne that they become a problem. Consider any renovations you plan on doing to the home that could disturb existing asbestos and the cost of removal. If an inspection finds asbestos in a home on the market, you could negotiate with the seller for a lower price, though this isn&rsquo;t a sure thing.</p></div>

They came in during the day while I was at work. When I came home, everything was spotless. They moved the furniture for me and cleaned up after themselves. The only thing that was different was the new window they installed!
