- We’ll also check CO monitors, smoke detectors, and washer/dryer vents and give air advice for homes.
- The perfect service for any concerns or questions around the house and some added peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of questions can Rümi certified home inspectors answer?
Wondering what questions to ask a home inspector? We handle anything under or on your roof. If we don't have the answer, we know how to find it for you. We handle all types of questions — from HVAC and hot water tanks to electrical panels.
Where did that mysterious water stain on your ceiling come from? What should you tackle next on your homeowner to-do list? What upgrades can help with energy efficiency? A home inspector can answer these questions and more.
Need first home buyer advice? We can help you get acquainted with your home! Locate the lint traps and filters on your washing machine and dryer, explore your furnace system and more!
How does the Ask a Home Inspector consult work?
The choice is yours: video chat or phone.
For video, we'll send you a link to join the call at your appointment time. For phone calls, our certified home inspector will give you a call to start your appointment.
Let the inspector know which areas of your home you'd like to know more about, and you'll discuss options. If you found issues in your home, your inspector will help you understand next steps. You may learn how to fix the issue on your own, or the type of contractor you'll need to hire if it's a bigger fix.
What should I prep for my 15 minutes with the home inspector?
There are a few things you can do to prep for your call that will help make the appointment run smoothly.
For phone consults:
- Keep a pen and paper handy to take notes.
For video consults:
- Make sure the lighting's good and bright, so the home inspector can see.
- Be ready to take your inspector on a video tour. This gives us a view of that problem you just can’t describe.
For everyone:
- Write out your questions so you don’t forget anything during our call.
- Be ready for the call a minute or two before the call starts so that you get the most out of your 15 minutes with the home inspector.
- If you only have a couple of questions, we can use the remaining time to take you through some home maintenance tips.

Can I use my tablet for the video call?
