Is it safe to stay in a home with foundation problems?

• <div><p>It’s usually not an immediate safety risk to live in a house with foundation problems, but you don’t want to let those problems persist. Most foundation issues don’t lead to a house’s sudden collapse, but they can lead to health issues like mold growth and pest intrusion, as well as problems like uneven floors or rotten beams and joists, which can pose injury risks and be costly to fix.</p></div>

Q: If you believe the leach field has had too much weight on it, should it be inspected?

• <div><p>You can call a professional<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-septic-inspection.htm"> septic company to inspect your tank</a> and leach field if you suspect too much weight has been on it. An inspection is a good idea if you recently purchased the home and the septic system isn&rsquo;t working like you expected. The professionals can determine whether a previous owner damaged it by placing too much weight on it. </p></div>

Q: Does a fireplace make home insurance more expensive?

• <div><p>Wood-burning fireplaces typically make homeowners insurance more expensive, simply because they increase the risk for a fire in your home. Gas and electric inserts are less likely to bring up your insurance rates, but you should always speak with your agent to understand how installing any type of fireplace will affect your premiums. </p></div>

Q: How much should I budget for a home inspection?

• <div><p>The cost of a home inspection depends on a number of factors, such as the size and condition of the home, its location, and the inspector&rsquo;s experience. Most inspections, however, will run between $187 and $510.</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>
