Common Questions
Do you provide home inspections outside Penticton?
Yes. We proudly serve homeowners, buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals throughout the South Okanagan, including Peachland, Summerland, Naramata, Okanagan Falls, Keremeos, Cawston, Oliver, Osoyoos, and surrounding communities.
What types of homes do you inspect?
We inspect a wide range of residential properties, including single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and new construction builds.
What is included in a home inspection?
A standard home inspection ia a visual, non-invasive inspection that covers the major systems of the home, including the roof, foundation, exterior, plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, insulation, and interior components.
Do I need to be present during the inspection?
No, you are not required to be present during the inspection. However, I do encourage you to join me for a walk-through at the end. During the walk-through, I’ll review the most important findings, explain any areas of concern or recommended maintenance, and answer any questions you may have so you leave with a clear understanding of the home’s condition.
Do you check for code compliance?
Our inspections are visual, non-invasive assessments and are not intended to determine compliance with municipal, provincial, or national building codes, bylaws, or regulations.
Comments regarding safety, workmanship, or potential concerns are based on industry standards, practical experience, and professional judgment, not a formal code compliance review.
At times, we may reference a building code provision to provide helpful context or information. These references are provided as a courtesy only and should not be interpreted as a determination of code compliance.
We reveal what we see, so you can make informed decisions.
Does a Home Inspection include a Land Title search or BC Assessment review?
No, a Home Inspection evaluates the physical condition of the property and does not include a review of legal or ownership records. Matters such as ownership, easements, rights-of-way, restrictive covenants and other registered interests should be verified thru a Land Titles Search. BC Assessment information including things like lot size, assessed value, zoning designation, etc, is also outside the scope of a Home Inspection. These records are typically provided or reviewed by your real estate agent, lawyer, or notary during the purchase process.
Anything I should do before the inspection?
Before your inspection, please ensure the property and major systems are safe and accessible. Clear clutter around the electrical panel, water heater, furnace/HVAC, attic hatch, and crawl space, and unlock all necessary doors, gates, and utility rooms. Please secure pets and ensure water, electricity, and gas are left on.
Let us know in advance about any known defects, access issues, or safety hazards. Permits, receipts, and warranties aren’t required, but having them available for major repairs or upgrades can help provide context for the report.
For entry, keys may be provided to us directly or, for a pre-purchase inspection, access can be coordinated through your realtor.
How long does a home inspection take?
Most condos take a couple hours but most average houses can take anywhere from 4-5hrs or more, depending on the size, age, and condition of the property.
When will I receive my inspection report?
You will receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report, within 24 hours after the inspection, outlining findings, notes, and any areas of concern.
What do I do with a Home Inspection Report?
Your inspection report is a valuable tool for making informed decisions about your property. Review the findings carefully and use the information to prioritize repairs, maintenance, and potential concerns.
If you’re buying a home, the report can help you understand the property’s condition and plan for immediate and future costs. If you already own the home, it can help you create a practical maintenance plan and budget accordingly.
Have questions about a finding? We’re happy to help you understand what we observed and what may need further attention.
Don’t just file your report—use it to make informed decisions.
