Q. Why should I have a home inspection? A. The easy answer is piece of mind. The other reason is "Knowledge is power." The more you know about your future home, the better decisions you will make in negotiating your price and planning for future renovations and repairs. This can either save you money or help you make informed decisions about what is best for you and your family.
Q. What is radon? A. Radon is an odorless, colorless radioactive gas that is heavier than air. It comes from the earth's core and can come up anywhere. The Environmental Protection Agency says it is the second leading cause of lung cancer, next to smoking. The good news is once radon is detected, it can be dealt with and removed. Radon testing is generally recommended, but not in every situation.
Q. Should I have other tests done, such as well recovery, water quality, lead in water, on-site sewage disposal, and seller's disclosure review? A. Not necessarily, since every home is different. Call us and we will ask you the right questions to help you decide what you need and what you don't.
Q. If I have a home inspection and problems are found, what should I do about it? A. That's our job. If and when we find indications of problems, it's up to the inspectors to evaluate, explain, and recommend solutions and appropriate actions.
Q. Can I back out or renegotiate my contract if the home inspection turns up too many problems? A. Absolutely, but talk to your real estate agent and make sure that the proper wording is in the real estate contract.
