Gain insight into our comprehensive home inspection procedures tailored to meet the unique needs of properties in the Okanagan region. Our qualified team is dedicated to providing thorough assessments to ensure your peace of mind.

Pre-Inspection Agreement

Before we begin, we provide a written agreement outlining the scope and limitations of the inspection. This ensures full transparency and helps you understand what will be covered.

Thorough On-Site Inspection

Our Accredited Home Inspector conducts a detailed visual inspection of the property, including:

  • Roof, gutters, and exterior siding

  • Foundation and structural components

  • Plumbing, electrical, and heating systems

  • Insulation and ventilation

  • Interior finishes, windows, and doors

  • Decks, balconies, and attached garages

We inspect accessible and visible systems without invasive techniques—no cutting into walls or dismantling fixtures.

 Use of Professional Tools

We use industry-standard tools such as:

  • Moisture meters

  • Thermal imaging cameras (as needed)

  • Electrical testers

  • Ladders and flashlights for hard-to-reach areas

On-Site Summary

Once the inspection is complete, we walk you through the major findings and answer any immediate questions. This helps you better understand the condition of the home before receiving the final report.
