Should you get a foundation inspection after a drought?

• <div><p>It's smart to schedule a foundation inspection after a significant drought, especially if you suspect new problems in your home's structure, such as cracks or uneven floors. Be sure to hire a certified contractor to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-inspects-foundations.htm">inspect your foundation</a>, particularly one that specializes in foundations or home inspections. Catching potential problems early on can help you avoid costly repairs in the long run. </p></div>

Q: Who gets a copy of the home inspection report?

• <div><p>A home inspector is only required to give a copy of their report to the party who hired them. This means that only a seller would receive a copy of a pre-listing inspection report, while only the buyer receives a report for pre-purchase home inspections. You can choose to share this report with the other party, but this isn&rsquo;t a common practice. As a seller, you would typically only get a sense of the most significant inspection discoveries when you receive a request for repair from the buyer.</p></div>

Q: Who has to pay for the home inspection?

• <div><p>For real estate transactions in most states, it is up to the buyer to pay for a home inspector to conduct a home inspection. With the buyer footing the bill, it allows them to choose an inspector they trust to conduct the inspection and review the report themselves to note any major and minor issues.</p></div>

Q: Do home inspectors check for lead paint?

• <div><p>No, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-included-home-inspection-report.htm">standard home inspection includes</a> the basics and does not offer lead paint testing. Professional lead paint inspectors need specific licenses to perform these inspections, which not all home inspectors have. If you suspect lead paint in the home you are about to purchase, you will need to pay separately to have that done. If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover polybutylene pipes?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance policies generally do not cover polybutylene pipes because of the high risk they pose. Some homeowners insurance companies have been threatening to terminate policies if homeowners do not replace them. Review your personal policy to be sure, but it&rsquo;s a safe bet that they&rsquo;re not covered&mdash;and you should prioritize repiping your home as soon as possible to avoid costly, uncovered damage.</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!

A service person came to my home and replaced a kitchen faucet. He removed the old one and replaced it with a new one, and was finished in an hour or less. He did a very good job and cleaned up his mess before leaving.
