Pre-Purchase
Our inspections are a thorough, non-invasive, visual inspection that encompass all aspects of your home from the grading of site, foundation and basement, roof, attic, heating and water systems, electrical and plumbing systems as well as a general condition of the structure itself.
We include thermal imaging for free, as we feel its an important tool for a valued inspection. We recommend the addition of our sewer camera inspection service at the same time as your home inspection for added peace of mind.
We strive to give you a detailed walk-through at the time of inspection that will educate you about the condition of your home. We point out and prioritize items that require maintenance or repair as well as safety items and future considerations.
You will receive a detailed, photo rich report delivered in electronic form within 24 hours of the inspection.
Your inspection doesn’t stop at the report. You may have questions after your purchase, and we are happy to give you any advice or knowledge necessary to help you with your ownership.
Pre-listing
If you are thinking of selling and are worried about what may be found in an inspection, this is the perfect opportunity to have a detailed inspection report completed in order to pinpoint items that may cost you a sale or decrease your sale price.
With quick service, a thorough walk through and professional trade recommendations, you will be confident you are selling a home a buyer will be excited about.

Yes, We feel thermal imaging is an asset to compliment our inspections and give you the best value for your dollar. It is complementary to our inspection service. We do also offer it as a standalone service.
Finding a problem during a home inspection doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t buy the property. Finding a material defect gives you an idea of the cost that could be associated with its evaluation and repair. We also note safety and maintenance items.

Although not required, it is advised that you be present for your inspection. The process does take over 2 hours, so it’s not necessary to be available for all of it, however the walk-through portion of the inspection includes valuable information and maintenance items.
Blockages and grading issues have been found in homes of all ages. Tree root and connection issues tend to be more prominent in older homes and those with aged wastewater systems. A camera inspection is always good peace of mind.
We accept Visa and Mastercard as well as e-transfers. Our Quickbooks software will send you an invoice with a link for payment. This must be paid prior to the start of the inspection.
We are only able to report on the condition of your furnace and other systems at the time of inspection. These are non-invasive, visual inspections only, and any component can fail at any time.
During an inspection, we only list the locations of water and gas valves. Old valves can leak once operated or fail to re-open. Due to the nature of corrosion and varied ages of plumbing components, we don’t test their operation.
