Pre Purchase Home Inspections
A home inspection is a visual process where all of the items typically used within a home are tested and/or operated to verify proper operation or installation. Since it is impossible to see through walls the use of specialized equipment is crucial when doing a home inspection. Thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, humidity meters and electrical testers are used at every inspection. Doors and windows are opened and closed, roofing materials inspected, air-conditioning and heating systems operated, etc...
Pre Sale Home Inspections
Pre Sale Home Inspections are becoming more popular because they virtually eliminate all the pitfalls and hassles associated with waiting to do the home inspection once an offer is accepted. A pre sale home inspection reveals problems ahead of time, which might make the home show better, and gives the seller time to make necessary repairs and removes over-inflated estimates from the negotiation table at the 11th hour.
New Home and Renovation Inspections
Building a new home, or renovating one can be an exciting and rewarding experience. A new home or renovation can deliver the right floor plan and finishes for you. It is a complicated project and a huge investment. The support, advice and information that you will gain from a third party inspection is invaluable. Do not leave out this important step in the building process. It is well worth the investment. New home inspections are performed at different stages of construction and prior to your final walk through with the Builder. The inspection should be scheduled just a day or two before you final walk through. This will ensure that most, if not all, last minute items have been completed prior to your inspection. At the conclusion of the inspection a completed report will be distributed to you.

Radon Testing
Radon
is an odourless, colorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that exists in the
basements of almost every home. According to Health Canada, Radon is the second
leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco use. Daily exposure to radon levels
higher than the safe level of 200 becquerels per cubic meter of air is
dangerous. The only way to find out the level of radon in a home is
to have it tested. In the United States a home cannot be sold without being
tested for radon. Radon test
results are performed by a nationally certified laboratory.
