| Comprehensive Building Inspections |
 |
A home inspection is a visual process where
items typically used within a home are tested and/or operated.
Doors and windows are opened and closed; roofing materials inspected,
air-conditioning and heating systems operated weather permitting.
We will fill the sinks and tub(s), run the shower(s), and flush
the toilets. All the while making notes on the condition and operation
of the components tested. We will provide a computer generated
report complete with colour digital images on the following systems: |
- Exterior
- Site Drainage
- Porches/Decks/Balcony
- Insulation & Ventilation
- Heating/Cooling
- And much more!
|
- Roof/Chimney
- Foundation
- Interior
- Electrical
- Basement/Crawl Space
|
- Gutters/Downspouts
- Structure
- Attic
- Plumbing
- Health & Safety

Although not mandatory, it is highly
recommended that you attend the inspection to gain first hand
insights on the condition of the home. It will be an informative
2 or 3 hour experience. By the time the inspection is done, you
will most likely know the home better than the previous owner. |
| Pre-Purchase Inspections
Know what you are buying. All homes have problems. We understand
the difference between major and minor problems and will communicate
that difference to you. Our Comprehensive Building Report will
include details of our findings in an easy to understand manner. |
Pre-Listing Inspections
Sell your home fast and at the best price by having it inspected
before you put it on the market. Many sales are cancelled due to
the buyer’s shock at the “functional condition”
of the home. It may look great, but have serious technical, safety,
or functional issues present without the owner’s knowledge.
Having the home inspected prior to placing it on the market is the
ideal way to identify and repair or disclose the issue found by
your inspector. Obviously, repairing the items would be the most
beneficial towards completing the sale. However, there may be financial
reasons where the owner cannot make the repairs. Disclosing them
up front and pricing the home based upon that disclosure will often
produce a higher net sales price for the owner. |

Multi-Unit Housing Inspections (up to three
stories)
On The Level Inspection will
identify and report on defects found on your housing propery prior
to purchase, as well as periodically during ownership.
Pre-purchase inspections are performed to identify any defects prior
to taking ownership. This could help in the purchasers ability to
negotiate repairs or price adjustments which reflect the condition
of the property. Periodic inspections of properties currently in
your portfolio would ensure the identification of needed repairs.
For example, long-term tenants sometimes neglect to mention repairs
and/or abuse to the property during their tenancy. Identifying those
problems early is the key to profitable ownership. |
Pre-Warranty Expiration Inspections
Warranty inspections are performed during the 11th month 1-year
Builder Warranty. Get those defects corrected by your home builder
before your warranty expires.
We will provide you with a complete report & digital images
listing observed defects which need corrective action. |
