Common Questions

The Help Center

Do I need to be present for the home inspection?

It is recommended that you are present for the home inspection.  We will evaluate the home and point out safety issues and answer any questions you may have while we are doing the inspection.  While it is not mandatory, it is highly recommended for you to be there for the inspection.  It is a great opportunity to ask the home inspector questions that you may have about the house.

Should I do a Radon Test?

It is recommended that you do a Radon Test to make sure that the house is safe from Radon Gas.  Radon is a radioactive gas and exposure to it causes over 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year—only smoking causes more. Because you can't see, smell or taste radon, it's important to periodically test the air in your home. Believing you live in a region not affected by radon is just one of the myths about this deadly gas.

Is a Home Inspection necessary?

The purchase of a new home may be your biggest investment.  No home is perfect but using a licensed home inspector such as Residential Home Inspections gives you the peace of mind that you are making an informed decision on knowing the condition of the home that you are buying.  We check for safety issues, water issues, condition of plumbing, electrical, appliances, HVAC, roof and more.
