Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

While a hygrometer is the most accurate tool for measuring humidity levels in the home, you can gauge humidity levels using simpler methods. One way is by observing signs like condensation on windows or feeling excessively sticky or clammy indoors, indicating higher humidity. Another DIY approach involves the “hair method”—aka placing a few strands of human hair in a closed container with salt for several hours. If the hair becomes limp, it's likely due to high humidity. These methods offer rough estimations, but lack the precision of a hygrometer for accurate readings.

Indications include cracks in walls, uneven floors, and sticking doors or windows that suggest foundation movements.

A 4-point home inspection is similar to a standard home inspection, but it’s less extensive and is required for home insurance in select states. In a 4-point inspection, inspectors only review four main components—electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and roofing systems.

If the knob and tube wiring system is in good condition and recently approved by a licensed inspection, then it is safe. However, knob and tube wiring is not grounded, and the insulation sheathing can deteriorate and leave exposed wires inside walls and other areas that can cause potential fire or shock hazards. Always have a professional inspect or modify any part of knob and tube electrical systems.

An inspection to look for damper handles is the best way to know if your house has dampers in the ducts. Not all homes have them, as some home builders may try to save money on the construction by leaving dampers out of the ducts. You can install them yourself later if desired, but you may have to do quite a bit of work and take on a partial air duct replacement cost, which could be $1,000 or more.
