Are home inspections our only business?

No! Home inspections are just part of our business. Depending on the region, we can provide a variety of services that work hand-in-hand with the home inspection. Services offered may include:

  • New Home Inspections - Protect your investment; Have your new home inspected with either a Pre-Delivery/Pre-Purchase inspection, before moving into the home, or within 11 months of moving into your newly built home and present the findings to the builder for the house’s warranty. This inspection will ensure work has been completed to the expected standard and will ensure any problems are recognised and resolved.
  • Energy Assessments – This inspection will determine the major areas of energy use and waste and make suggestions on what steps to take that could save you hundreds of dollars annually in utilities and do your part in protecting the environment.
  • Pool & Spa Inspections – This review includes a visual examination of a spa/pool installation. We will inspect the pool equipment, electrical supply and pool line. The equipment is run, except for the pool heater if the pilot is not lit.
  • Commercial Building Inspections – includes inspections of apartment complexes, motels, office buildings, retail stores and warehouses. The inspection evaluates the major systems of the property and the visible structural components; it also catalogues the type and condition of HVAC equipment.
  • Water Analysis - This inspection, done mostly in rural areas, is a limited sampling of certain water systems and components using normal operating controls. The purpose of the Inspection is to provide you with information concerning the water quaility of the home at the time of the inspection.
  • Indoor Air Quality Survey - as your home deteriorates, its condition can dramatically affect the quality of your indoor air. During an Indoor Air Quality Survey, we evaluate your home's condition and make recommendations on how to improve your indoor air quality.
  • Septic Testing – Done mostly in rural areas, the system is evaluated for evidence of above ground septic breakout. Without a test, clear failure of the septic system is the only evidence of problems as most components are underground.
  • WETT Inspections – Wood Energy Technology Transfer is a visual examination of wood burning appliances – fireplaces, wood burning stoves etc – and all its visible components. Our inspectors would verify proper installation and clearance to combustibles and its associated venting equipment.
