Q: How long does a foundation inspection take?

• <div><p>A home foundation inspection takes between one and two hours, depending on the size of the house and if the inspector finds any issues that require further investigation. The foundation specialist or structural engineer will evaluate the foundation's condition by inspecting many parts of the home, including windows and doors, trimwork, attic and roof, and interior and exterior walls, as well as the foundation itself. </p></div>

Q: How long does a home inspection take?

• <div><p>The size of your home, whether it&rsquo;s a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/structural-inspection-vs-home-inspection.htm">structural inspection versus a home inspection</a>, and the inspector&rsquo;s experience and skill level will dictate how long a home inspection takes. However, inspections are generally completed in 30 minutes to half a day. </p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover French drains?

• <div><p>Most homeowner policies don&rsquo;t cover damage to the actual French drains themselves. However, some insurance policies do cover flood damage. In the event that your current system fails and your French drains need to be fixed, you could be covered for any damages incurred. Check your insurance policy to see how they pay out for water damage if a drain system fails. </p></div>

Q: What is the standard inspection period when buying a home?

• <div><p>The typical inspection period when buying a home&mdash;the time you have to conduct a home inspection and either agree to move forward with the sale or back out of it&mdash;is around 10 days. The inspection period can range from a week up to around 21 days, depending on the area, the state of the market, and how quickly the seller wants or needs the deal to progress.</p></div>

Q: Am I required to add grounding to an older home?

• <div><p>Homeowners usually do not have to update existing systems unless they are doing significant renovations. Consult your local building codes or ask a knowledgeable local contractor for the details.</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!
