Home Inspection Standards of Practice
Our inspections are carried under the National Standards of Practice. Our examination and analysis, alongside an accurate and objective evaluation of the property, will help you make an informed decision.
Our home inspections include:
• Roof, Attic & Chimney
• Gutters & Downspouts
• Structure & Foundation
• Basement/Crawl Space
• Porches & Decks
• Windows, Doors & Skylights
• Electrical Systems
• Plumbing Systems
• Heating & Cooling
(Additional Services)
• Thermal Imaging Evaluation
• Air Quality Testing & Consultation
Our comprehensive PDF reports are trusted by Builders, Lenders, Insurance & Appraisal companies.
INFRARED THERMAL IMAGING
With our advanced infrared thermal imaging camera, we can identify many undetectable concerns within the house, such as:
• Insulation Problems
• Overheating Appliances
• Overheating Electrical Components
• Ventilation Leaks
• Moisture Intrusion
• Plumbing Obstructions
Air Quality Testing (CO2, PM2.5 & PM10)
PM 2.5 and PM 10 refer to particulate matter with diameters of 2.5 micrometres and 10 micrometres, respectively. They are commonly used metrics in air quality testing to measure the concentration of fine particles suspended in the air.
Here are some of the reasons why your home air quality is important:
• Breathing clean air is crucial for maintaining good respiratory health.
• Poor indoor air quality can exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma and allergies.
• Indoor allergens and pollutants can trigger symptoms and discomfort.
• Good air quality promotes better sleep quality and overall well-being.
• Prolonged exposure to indoor pollutants can lead to long-term health effects.
• Children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems are particularly vulnerable.
• Clean air enhances comfort, reduces odours, and prevents the growth of mold and mildew.
In summary, ensuring good interior air quality is essential for respiratory health, preventing allergies and asthma symptoms, promoting sleep and overall well-being, preventing long-term health effects, protecting vulnerable individuals, and enhancing comfort in your living space.
LNG, LPG & CH4 GAS TESTING
Our advanced natural gas detector enables us to detect various types of Gas leaks, including Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), and Methane Gas (CH4). This capability allows us to swiftly identify and pervent potential hazard in the following areas: - Surrounding gas meters and gas pipes - Gas BBQ grills, water heaters, furnace components and other gas appliances.
MOISTURE TESTING
The advantage of our moisture meter during a home inspection is to detect hidden moisture, identify potential issues (leaks, mold), evaluate structural integrity, support informed decisions, and enhance overall assessment accuracy.
ELECTRICAL TESTING
Home electrical performance is critical. If it is not up to the current standard, it can cause fire or health hazards.
We provide electrical inspection & general evaluation of home main wiring & receptacles with our ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) tester, voltage detector & digital multimeter to eliminate a chance of disaster or malfunction.
UAV AERIAL EXAMINATION
Our fleet of lightweight, multipurpose camera-mounted drones can identify many visual problems such as:
• Gutters & Downspouts Issues
• Soffit & Fascia Problems
• Windows Components Defect
• Roof Structure Integrity
• Roof Coverings Condition
• Chimney Structure Integrity & Overall Condition
