You’re sitting at home and enjoying a cup of coffee in your kitchen. As you sit down, you begin to smell something odd.

How to stop smells from coming through vents? You can change filters in your HVAC unit and call on a professional air duct cleaning service. It is possible that you have some mold or mildew that has grown on the walls of your air ducts and it needs removing.

Before calling on your home inspection company to go through your home top to bottom, take a look around the home yourself. A lot of times there are areas of repair that you the homeowner could address before a home inspection. Remember, that you are spending money to certify that your home is in fine working condition. You want to make sure it is valued at the price that you are seeking a seller to purchase it for. Making sure the repairs are done first will greatly enhance your chances of a strong inspection.

Buying a home brings a lot of joy but also brings with it some possible problems that need fixing. Before signing on the dotted line to purchase the home, think about a sewer scope. What is a sewer scope? An inspector uses a video camera to look inside the sewer lines that run from the home to the main sewer line, septic, or HOA tap line. You may be thinking that paying money for an inspection is costing you more, but just like a home inspection, a sewer scope inspection (or sewer line inspection) is highly recommended.

Buying a home is a large purchase and usually a place many people will stay in for a long time. You want to know that everything is going well in the home so having a home inspection is important. Even though it is not required, it is always highly recommended.
