Price

What drives the cost of buyer home inspection in Clarkston

  • Square footage and number of levels
  • Age of the house and whether it has a basement or crawl space
  • Add-ons such as radon, sewer scope, mold or termite inspection
  • Detached garages, outbuildings or extra units in a duplex
  • Vacant or winterized homes that need utilities checked
  • Travel distance to outer Livingston, Lapeer or St. Clair County
  • Rush scheduling to fit a short contingency window
  • The age of the home: the typical Clarkston home was built around 1957, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Clarkston

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Clarkston was built around 1957. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

55% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Clarkston building department before work starts.
