🪟 Interior Findings from Ottawa Home Inspections

Real interior defects and conditions documented during home inspections across Ottawa and surrounding areas.

What We Check

  • Walls and ceilings — cracks, staining, bulging, evidence of moisture
  • Floors — squeaking, soft spots, uneven surfaces, damaged finishes
  • Windows and doors — operation, sealing, condensation between panes
  • Stairs and railings — stability, proper height, baluster spacing
  • Bathrooms — caulking, exhaust ventilation, tile condition
  • Kitchen — appliance function, exhaust hood, cabinet condition
  • Smoke and CO detectors — placement and functionality

Common Issues We Find

  • Water staining on ceilings indicating past or active roof or plumbing leaks
  • Foggy or failed window seals — common in Ottawa due to temperature extremes
  • Bathroom exhaust fans venting into wall cavities instead of outside
  • Missing or loose stair railings — a safety concern
  • Soft floors near bathrooms indicating subfloor moisture damage
  • Improperly sealed tub and shower surrounds leading to water intrusion

Why This Matters

Interior findings often tell the story of how a home has been maintained. Water staining, soft floors, and failed window seals may be visible clues to larger underlying issues. A thorough interior inspection helps buyers distinguish between cosmetic deficiencies and conditions that indicate ongoing problems.
