A home inspection is a thorough visual examination of the home and property.

Having a certified, experienced home inspector inspect your new home purchase will not only point out any physical problems of the home but will also give you an understanding of the proper preventative maintenance you must do to protect your investment.  The process usually takes around three hours, during which time the house is examined from the basement up. The inspection includes observation and when appropriate, operation of the plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical, and appliance systems, as well as structural components: roof, attic, foundation, basement, exterior and interior walls, chimney, doors, and windows.

A home inspection will also give you peace of mind knowing your new home is sound.  We recommend that you take the time to accompany the home inspector as he views the home.

When conducted by a professional, a home inspection covers about 1,000 check-points in approximately 400 items around the home.

Findings should be provided to you in the form of a comprehensive report together with a recommended action. It is vital that such a report includes an objective evaluation of the condition of the home, clearly relating existing defects and indicating potential problems.
