"Outstanding service! Steve responded promptly and came out to assess our specific issues. He recommended we engage for a foundation-centric inspection for half the cost of a standard full house inspection. He spent a generous amount of time inside, outside and in crawl space to fully assess our situation and readily discussed what he was seeing as we walked around together. We are confident that we received an accurate view of the issues and sensible next steps to take."

"We had a very expensive home repair spray foam installation under the house floor. The people were shady, and I needed to have it inspected to see if they did what the contract said. They came out and were very professional and very timely , did what I needed done and gave me the report to send back to the company to prove the findings. We are so grateful to ugly duckling inspections. Thank you"

"Greg met all of our home inspection needs. He was prompt, conducted a very thorough inspection, and answered all of our questions. This was our first time buying a home and we were a bit nervous and had a lot of questions. He patiently walked us through all aspects of the inspection and did not skip a beat answering our many questions. Getting our report back the next day was a pleasant surprise and took so much stress out of our home buying experience. Highly recommend!"

"I researched mold inspection companies and read excellent reviews on Craig Cooper the local Mold Inspection Sciences inspector. I met Craig I told him he had a great reputation and I expected him to live up to it. He did and far more. Craig's pre-remediation inspection identified the type of mold. But Craig went beyond that. He is a great teacher and he educated me on the probable cause of the mold, various methods of mold removal, and provided the information I needed to select a remediation company. Brad of the MIS staff was also extremely helpful. I selected a firm that used a remediation method that Craig and Brad had recommended. The work was completed in a timely manner and passed with flying colors."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Any unexplained smell in your house should be investigated. However, some home odors are "red flag" worrisome because they pose immediate health and safety risks. Odors should be taken seriously when accompanied by headaches, nausea, or lightheadedness. If you smell an egg-like aroma, this is probably natural gas. You should leave the home immediately, and  contact your gas company.  

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

You can look at the duct damper’s lever to see if it’s open or closed. If the lever is parallel to the duct, the damper is open. If it’s perpendicular, the damper is closed. Alternatively, you can hold your hand against vents throughout your home. If you feel air coming out, that damper is partially or fully open. No airflow likely means that the damper is closed.

Yes, most audits include a report with prioritized recommendations for improving energy efficiency. Confirm with your auditor.

A pre-purchase home inspection isn’t mandatory, but not having one can complicate your home insurance and mortgage loan eligibility.
