Q: How do you tell if a two-prong outlet is grounded?

• <div><p>By nature, two-prong outlets aren't grounded&mdash;but the box they run to might be, which makes them safer. The safest way to test if an outlet is grounded is to purchase a circuit tester, which cost about <b>$20</b> at home improvement stores. </p><p>If you discover your outlet (or outlets) aren't grounded, know that this greatly increases your risk of personal injury and electrical fires. You may want to consider installing new three-prong ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. On average, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-it-cost-electrician-replace-combination-gfci-switch-and-receptacle.htm">cost to install GFCI outlets</a> is about <b>$210</b> per outlet.</p></div>

Q: Is it a good idea to waive a home inspection?

• <div><p>Waiving a home inspection could be beneficial if you&rsquo;re buying a home in a hot location where the seller has many other offers to consider, especially if other buyers are willing to waive the inspection. However, it&rsquo;s not usually a good idea to waive an inspection, even on new construction. Inspections can identify problems that could cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, so a formal inspection is always worthwhile. If you&rsquo;re having a new home built, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/is-pre-drywall-inspection-necessary.htm">a pre-drywall inspection</a> is often the most valuable, but a final inspection before you close is also a good idea.</p></div>

Q: Do foundation cracks affect your appraisal?

• <div><p>Foundation cracks won&rsquo;t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren&rsquo;t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.</p></div>

Q: Can you back out of an inspection contingency?

• <div><p>Yes. If a home inspection reveals that the property has major issues or is unsafe, the buyer can back out of the purchase.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell if a light bulb is LED or incandescent?

• <div><p>Most LED bulbs have a plastic covering, while incandescent bulbs will be made from glass. This is because LED bulbs don&rsquo;t produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs, so the covering doesn&rsquo;t need to be as heat resistant. Also, an LED light bulb will usually have a marking on its base that identifies it as an LED.</p></div>

Do not work with LESA. I am the first to write a positive review and try my best to avoid negative, but LESA's negligence has cost my family $26,000 in unexpected repairs after our home purchase. Choose a different inspector. First, our entire basement ceiling/floor system was contaminated...

"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.
