Buying a home may be the single largest investment most Canadians will ever make. Many homes are purchased after only one or two quick walk-throughs!
The average home inspection takes around three hours to complete.
A home inspection is a visual inspection of the over-all structure, as well as an examination of the systems of the home. The inspection is objective and very educational. In addition to going up onto the roof and into the crawl space (if applicable), each system is operated and evaluated.

In addition, the inspector will
perform carbon monoxide tests and natural gas leak tests.
The working condition of the electrical and mechanical components of the home are tested. We also provide average life expectancies of various components of a home.
Useful energy efficiency items are also discussed.
We
encourage our clients to attend the home inspection. Our inspections are
objective and unbiased. It is an invaluable learning experience and helps
purchasers make an informed decision.
Our toll-free number and narrative reporting system enables us to specialize in relocation inspections, in which case many purchasers are not able to attend the inspection.
