stuff.
A home inspection is kind of like an annual check-up at the doctor. It’s used to make sure things are working properly & it can be useful in spotting things that might eventually become a problem
Some people actually think we come equipped with a crystal ball, a flux capacitor or even X-Ray vision! Unfortunately, we can’t go into the past, go “Back to the Future” or, like Superman, see through walls.
Disclaimers are boring so I won’t get into that but please understand we can only visually inspect what we see today. Every house is different just like every customer has different expectations of what a home inspection should be. However, we know some people like to read the report in its entirety. Attached we provided you with a full copy of our Standards of Practice & Disclaimers.
If you are reading this then obviously the details matter to you. You’d make a great home inspector.

summary
E BACK TO SUMMARY | Due Diligence You should get the help of experts like lawyers & document reviewers to see what is or is not covered by the board. | |
Front Entry Keeping a good seal is essential to maintaining your home's energy efficiency. Door Info Intended to protect us from intruders & the elements. Clean gaskets & replace parts as necessary. Who else has a key? Re-key? | ||
Condo Exteriors Here is the primary protective layer between your unit & the external elements. Exterior Cladding Here to safeguard the underlying structural walls from the elements. | ||
Focal Window It can be a real "Pane" replacing windows. Maintenance is the key to longevity. Regular Window Cleaning is one simple way to reduce the amount of condensation & the overall level of moisture entering your home. |
Balcony Page Outdoor space attached to a home, usually elevated, used for relaxation, dining, or enjoying the view. Balcony Door Visually examined for common defects. | ||
Exterior Railing Assessed for SAFETY deficiencies. We do the lean test. Height & spacing depends on the code year. Exterior Plugs Weatherproof outlet covers are preferred. Tested for functionality. | ||
Balcony Maintenance is essential for safety and longevity. Regularly inspect the balcony for signs of wear, including loose railings, cracked tiles or concrete, and rusted metal components. Clean the surface to remove dirt, algae, or mildew buildup, and consider resealing or painting the balcony to protect it from the elements. Pay attention to drainage to prevent water pooling, which can lead to damage over time. Regular maintenance helps ensure a safe and aesthetically pleasing outdoor space. |
Condo Exterior Monthly List While we're able to control the environment (temperature, humidity, lighting) inside our homes, we have very little control over the weather buffeting our homes outside. Remember to familiarize yourself with your responsibilities and the boards. Here are some things to keep your eyes on throughout the seasons: 1. Gutters & downspouts may need cleaning or repairs. Exterior cladding; if it looks wrong, it probably is. 2. Windows & doors: may just need a simple tuneup for functionality. 3. Decks & balconies - surface membranes should be intact and railings secured. Safety of these is essential! Just like your annual doctor check-up, your home will need your attention seasonally to prevent small things from turning into big things! |
T BACK TO SUMMARY | Please remember Minor cold spots are present in every home. Every effort was made to scan the entire structure unless obstructed. | |
Thermal Front Door Scanned for irregularities, air leaks & consistency. Front Door Keeping a good seal is essential to maintaining the energy efficiency of your home. | ||
Thermal Windows Scanned for irregularities, air leaks & other moisture-prone areas. Interior Window Opening your blinds can expose the surface of windows to circulating air which will help keep the condensation away!! | ||
Thermal Walls As seen from the inside. All walls & ceilings were scanned for irregularities. Interior Wall If these walls could talk. One of the best ways to see how a home has been built & maintained. |
Thermal Walls As seen from the inside. All walls & ceilings were scanned for irregularities. There are many reasons to clean drywall, from coffee stains to palm prints & sometimes dust accumulation. Drywall, like every surface, acquires dust & dirt over time. There are some forms of dirt that you may not notice for a while until they get really bad, so if you want to keep your home looking ship-shape, you should invest in cleaning your walls regularly. You will eliminate a lot of dust in your home, a plus for anyone with allergies, & it will look sharp and new. | ||
Thermal Ceiling We look up, down & all around. Doors, windows, or any penetration in the skeleton of your home is where we usually find the largest temperature variance. This is why it’s best to be a stickler about cleaning & replacing your weather stripping every couple of years. In the ceiling, we typically find colder areas around the utility penetrations. For example, at speakers, electrical boxes, pot lights, & more… |
Thermal Toilet Scanned for leaks at the base, tank & shut-off valve. Toilet Tested flushability, inspected for leaks & stability but not used... | ||
Hot Water Thermal We always thoroughly run ALL plumbing fixtures & check for temperature variance. Hot Water Tap Pretty simple fixture, designed to make the hot water flow on & off. | ||
Cold Water Thermal See photo Cold Water Tap Inspected for deficiencies using normal operating procedures. | ||
Thermal P-Trap Scanned for leaks or the presence of moisture. P-Trap Preventing smelly gases since the year 1775! These TRAP water at the "P" creating a seal. |
Thermal Dishwasher A representative # of potential leak points were thermally examined today. Dishwasher See the Kitchen section for a description of this component. | ||
Thermal Laundry Washer Scanned for proof of operation & the presence of moisture. Laundry Washer The most memorable days end with the dirtiest clothes! | ||
Thermal Laundry Dryer Scanned to make sure it’s heating up! Laundry Dryer Removes moisture from a load of clothing, bedding & other textiles. | ||
Thermal Heat Supply Thermal was used to inspect for temperature & to demonstrate air flow. Heat Supply Visually examined for common defects. |
Thermal Refrigerator Scanned for proof of operation & the presence of moisture. Inside Fridge For your records. | ||
Thermal Freezer Scanned for proof of operation & the presence of moisture. Inside Freezer Visually examined for common defects. | ||
Thermal Stove Scanned for proof of operation. Cooktop Always hard to keep clean! | ||
Thermal Oven Scanned for proof of operation. Oven Visually examined for common defects. |
Thermal Tech All objects emit infrared energy, known as a heat signature. An infrared camera (also known as a thermal imager) detects & measures the infrared energy of objects. The camera converts that infrared data into an electronic image that shows the apparent surface temperature of the object being measured. |
H BACK TO SUMMARY | Fire extinguisher One per floor! Easy access to an extinguisher helps prevent fires & protects your home & your family. | |
Carbon Monoxide Test Spot checked in suspect areas & used to detect colorless, odorless, & tasteless gas. Moisture Test Used to measure the percentage of water in a given product. Spot checked throughout—especially the usual suspects. | ||
Smoke Detector These detect fires by sensing small particles in the air using a couple of different kinds of technologies. Once they detect those particles above a certain threshold, they signal the alarm to sound so that you & your family can get to safety & call 911. A working smoke alarm cuts your risk of dying in a home fire in half. Missing or dead batteries cause nearly all alarm failures. For the best protection, install a combination hard-wired alarm with battery backup. If your alarms use regular batteries, swap in fresh batteries at least once a year. A “chirping” sound means that it’s time to change batteries. |

Health & Safety If there's one place you should always feel safe, it's your home. It's your castle... a place of refuge, privacy, & security. Make sure they are clearly labeled & in their original containers. - Store firearms & ammunition separately & under lock & key. - Use light timers so your child doesn't come home to a dark house. - Fire Safety: you must have a smoke alarm on each level of the house (or for homes on one level, near the kitchen & all bedrooms). Test them to make sure they all work. - Replace any broken electrical cords & use no more than two plugs per outlet. - Keep your water heater below 60 C to prevent scalding. - First Aid: Assemble a basic kit - Power Outages: Keep a flashlight or two (& extra batteries) handy. |

The OTR • Hood Fan We don’t spend too much time running these… Just on & off for a couple of minutes to check for functionality. The thing about cooking, especially frying & grilling, is that it can kick up a lot of smoke, grease, & lingering food smells. A range hood helps keep the air in your kitchen clean. These appliances come in several different models, some more effective than others. It is recommended to clean a kitchen hood system once every six months, depending on usage. Dirty / Grease. Tune-up / Adjust. |

Laundry Drainage Line |
Laundry Stuff Regular washing of bedding & clothes helps remove bacteria, dirt, fleas, mites & other irritants or infections. When you're spending countless hours doing nearly 300 loads of laundry per year, there's more you should consider than which color baskets to buy. Here's some of the stuff we're looking at: - Washer & dryer location - Ventilation - Waterlines & drains - Subfloor underlay & more... |

Condo Mechanical When it comes to your unit’s mechanical room, it's not only maintenance & cleaning the unit itself you must keep in mind. Where your mechanicals are located, waterline shuts offs for the units dometstic water or heating systems, what's nearby, & how to move around, these all matter too. Keeping your the room clean & safe should be a priority. If your mech room doubles as a storage room, you absolutely have to make sure no cardboard boxes or plastic containers lean flush against the furnace. Make sure a path is clear for your technician come maintenance day. That way, if maintenance & repairs need to be made, your technician can do them easily. Finally, make sure any manuals for your units components are within reach in the room where it's hosted. That way, if something is wrong, you'll be able to identify it more easily. |
