What We Inspect

What Your Ottawa Home Inspection Covers

Every Ottawa home inspection covers all major systems and components of the property. Our certified home inspector examines each system with a trained eye, thermal imaging on every inspection, transparent reporting, and a focus on helping you make informed decisions — whether you're buying, selling, or maintaining your home.

🔗 Foundation & Structure

During your home inspection, we assess structural integrity — from the foundation to framing — to identify movement, settlement, or safety concerns that affect the home's value and safety.

🔗 Electrical Systems

Your home inspection includes a thorough review of wiring, panels, outlets, and fixtures for safety hazards — including knob and tube wiring and aluminum wiring common in older Ottawa homes.

🔗 Plumbing Systems

We evaluate supply lines, drains, fixtures, water heaters, and visible piping as part of the home inspection — documenting age, condition, and any signs of active or past leaking.

🔗 Roofing

Our home inspection includes a drone roof assessment where conditions allow — examining shingles, flashing, drainage, and penetrations to assess condition and remaining service life.

🔗 Exterior & Building Envelope

The exterior walkthrough is one of the most critical stages of the home inspection — reviewing siding, grading, drainage, decks, windows, and doors for moisture risks and maintenance needs.

🔗 Interior

Our home inspector evaluates walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, and built-in components — using thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture intrusion not visible to the naked eye.

🔗 Heating & Cooling Systems

Every home inspection covers the furnace, AC, and HVAC components — assessed for functionality, age, and condition. Ottawa's climate makes a reliable heating system non-negotiable.

🔗 Attic & Insulation

The attic inspection covers insulation R-values, ventilation adequacy, signs of ice damming, moisture staining, and pest activity — critical findings for Ottawa's freeze-thaw climate.

Got Questions?

Ottawa Home Inspection — Frequently Asked Questions

Our Ottawa home inspection service is built on thoroughness, honesty, and same-day reporting. We use thermal imaging on every inspection and drone roof assessment where conditions allow — tools that many home inspectors in Ottawa treat as optional extras. We work for you, not the agent or the seller.

Most Ottawa home inspections take 2–3 hours, depending on the home's size, age, and complexity. Larger or older homes may take longer. You're encouraged to attend the full inspection.

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.
