How do I prepare my whole house for a repipe?

• <div><p>Repiping your home creates a large mess, and you won’t have access to water while your contractors are working. To prepare, contractors will cover the floor and furniture with drop clothes. In some cases, they may move furniture to protect it and get it out of the way. They’ll then cut holes in your walls, floors, and ceiling to expose the existing pipes.</p><p>They’ll also turn off your water, but they’ll leave at least one bathroom and the kitchen functioning at the end of the day. You’ll need to plan accordingly.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth buying a home with knob and tube wiring?

• <div><p>If you want to buy a home that has knob and tube wiring, you should get an inspection first. An electrical inspector can take a thorough look at the wiring and make sure that it's completely safe for your home and has no potential to cause fires or disrupt the overall wiring in your home. Never buy a house with knob and tube wiring without first getting an inspection by a certified and vetted electrician.</p></div>

Q: How do you close out an open building permit?

• <div><p>Closing out an open building permit requires that you have your professional schedule a final inspection of the work they completed. In some cases, like a roof replacement or solar installation, a building inspector from your local municipality may just carry out a drive-by inspection. In other cases, like new construction or a change to interior plumbing or electrical work, the inspector might need to gain access to your home to confirm that the work was done in accordance with the local building code.</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: How long does a plumbing inspection take?

• <div><p>Both plumbing inspection cost and length can vary widely based on the specifics of a property. For a larger home, historic home, or rental complex, a full plumbing inspection can take a full day. Put aside at least eight hours from the start of the visit to ensure that you'll be available to answer any of the plumber's questions. However, a thorough inspection of the average one-story to two-story home lasts just two to three hours.</p></div>

"My wife and I recently purchased a home in Townshend, VT. The home inspection was performed by David Goodman of Total Property Inspections-Goodman Group of Shaftesbury, VT. Mr Goodman was very thorough as he did the inspection and as he performed it, he pointed out each item of current or potential concern, along with recommendations for corrections and the timeframe to make same. A few were immediate and previous homeowner made the corrections prior to our close. Others will be made over time, following Mr Goodman’s advice. We spoke extensively during the inspection and Mr Goodman’s report was available almost immediately. He also made himself available for several follow on discussions to answer all of our questions. He was very easy and pleasant to deal with at every interaction. We would highly recommend Mr Goodman and Total Property Inspections - Goodman Group to anyone requiring a home inspection.
