We offer the most comprehensive home inspection service available.

The inspection itself can last between 2 ½ and 4 hours, depending on the size and type of house we are looking at.

Our Inspectors are registered member of The Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors Manitoba, CAHPI-MB and strictly adheres to the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice (CSA A770) of CAHPI.

We think it is important for you to be there to go through the inspection with us since a lot of information about the home is a lot easier to understand when seeing and hearing it as opposed to just reading the report after the fact. Questions can also be answered as we go along. Think of it as an orientation session about your home. It’s good to know about the features of the home, regular maintenance issues as well as the location of switches and shut-offs for emergency purposes.

The inspection is visual based on the performance of the components of the home and the clues of non-performance.  It is non-invasive and not destructive. We cannot poke through walls, lift carpets or go anywhere that might cause damage or is unsafe to enter. Security systems and alarms are not tested because of privacy issues. Throughout the inspection we will summarize what has been found so far but don’t worry about information overload, most details discussed will be found in the report given to you after the inspection.

We’ll be looking at the roofing, the exterior of the home, the structure, the electrical system, the heating/air-conditioning systems as well as the interior parts of every room of the home. We’ll be turning lights on and off, running faucets, opening and closing windows and doors, flushing toilets and so on.

The roof will be the first thing we look at. After this is done, we’ll inspect the exterior of the house which includes windows, doors, porches, balconies, the grounds, garage, etc. We’ll then go inside and continue from the basement. Here we will look at the structure (where possible), the electrical system, the heating/air-conditioning systems and the plumbing.

After the basement, we will work our way up towards the attic looking at every room possible. We’ll finish the inspection by looking in the attic at the insulation and roof structure. A full recap is conducted after the inspection, and of course questions can be answered.

Any questions concerning the report, the home and its components are welcome during and of course after the inspection.

We start at the roof and evaluate not only the roof surface, but also the chimney, the ventilation system, the electrical service entrance, the plumbing stack, and any other systems or components located on the roof.

Our next step is to inspect the exterior and the interior of the home. We use a macro and micro approach to look at both the big picture and all the details. 

Our evaluation is then communicated through a detailed inspection report, which includes descriptions of all the systems in the home, as well as any recommended improvements. This will help you prioritize the improvements and develop a blueprint for your future in the home.

Best of all, our services don’t end with the inspection. For as long as you own the home, you can call with any additional questions — at no extra charge!
