Inspection Components

Every inspection is built on a commitment to clarity, thoroughness, and your peace of mind. We examine each major system of the home with a trained eye, transparent reporting, and a focus on helping you make informed decisions.

Foundations & Structure

We assess structural integrity—from the foundation to framing—to identify movement, settlement, or safety concerns.

Electrical Systems

We inspect wiring, panels, outlets, and fixtures for safety, proper installation, and potential hazards.

Plumbing Systems

We evaluate supply lines, drains, fixtures, water heaters, and visible piping for leaks, wear, and performance issues.

Roofing

We examine shingles, flashing, drainage, and roof penetrations to assess condition and remaining life.

Exterior

We review siding, grading, walkways, decks, windows, and doors to identify damage, moisture risks, and maintenance needs.

Interior

We inspect walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, and built-in components for defects, moisture intrusion, and safety concerns.

Heating & Cooling

We evaluate HVAC systems for functionality, efficiency, and overall condition with insights on age and expected maintenance.

Attic & Ventilation

We check insulation levels, ventilation, structural components, and signs of moisture or pests above the ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because we are committed to finding all issues with your home, educating you on all the systems and provide recommendations on how can you prevent these issues from happening again.

Most inspections take 2–3 hours, depending on the home's size, age, and complexity. Larger or older homes may take longer.

We strongly encourage future home owners to attend. Walking through the home with the inspector helps you understand the systems, ask questions, and learn about maintenance.

Costs vary based on home size, age, and services requested — typically between $400 and $700. We are committed to providing transparent and fair pricing.

Even in a seller's market, skipping an inspection can expose you to costly issues. Some buyers choose pre‑offer inspections to stay competitive.

Frequent findings include roof wear, foundation cracks, amateurish electrical systems, moisture intrusion, poor insulation, and HVAC inefficiencies especially in older neighbourhoods.

Yes. Our inspectors pay special attention to ice damming, attic ventilation, insulation levels, moisture control, and foundation movement — all common in Ottawa's freeze‑thaw cycles.

Your inspector will explain the issue, its severity, and potential next steps. Buyers often use this information to negotiate repairs or price adjustments.

No. Inspections don't "pass" or "fail." They provide a snapshot of the home's condition so you can make informed decisions.

New builds still benefit from inspections to catch construction defects early, incomplete work, or issues missed by buyers and to document any warranty claims.
