Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can get a quote from a home insurance company without an inspection. However, if the insurer mandates one, you may have to determine who will pay for the inspection and submit it with your application so they can provide you with an accurate quote.

Knowing what to expect during a mold inspection can help make the process easier. Prepare by closing doors and windows for 48 hours, turning off HVAC systems for at least two hours, and avoiding disinfectant chemicals for at least 48 hours. 

The mold inspection process takes between 24 and 48 hours. Your professional will check walls, fireplaces, air ducts, vents, and windows for visible spores. They will also take an outdoor base air sample. Your pro will send these samples to a lab for testing and advise you on the findings.

In most cases, inspection costs are not included in closing costs. The inspection is usually a standalone expense the buyer or seller covers by choice. Closing costs are normally required and designed to cover other costs, such as appraisal fees, title search fees, and attorney fees.

Since radon typically comes out of the soil, it is most commonly found in the lower levels of a home. In houses with basements, that's a common location for radon. Homes built directly on the ground may have radon on the ground floors. Radon can be found on the upper floors of the home, but often in lower concentrations than in lower levels.

Unfortunately, home inspections do not check for asbestos because of the liability factor involved. That’s why you should hire a trained professional with specialized equipment to test for it. 

They will inspect all areas of the home and take samples of various materials to test. Opting for an asbestos inspection can prevent the risk of exposure to this hazardous material and save on costly repairs that may be required.
