disclaimer

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.

Hazard Assessment

H BACK TO SUMMARY		Hazard Page This assessment is a proactive process designed to ensure workers are protected.
		Weather During Inspection Shot of the weather today. Entry Condition See photo & hand gesture.
		Site PPE Requirements Trades On-Site Who's working today?
		Fall Protection In Place For your records. Dangerous Floor • Wall Openings Inspection photos create a paper reality we call "proof of today."

Hazard Assessment

		Site Cleanliness A clean & orderly site boosts productivity. Working on a site full of scattered debris & rubbish is troublesome.
		Adequate Lighting? To provide a (lux) level appropriate to the tasks being undertaken.
		First Aid Readily Available? Knowing where the first aid supplies are can help ensure that on-site personnel can quickly access supplies in an emergency.
		Materials Stored Neatly? Stored materials must not create a hazard for workers. To prevent creating hazards when storing materials, it is important to keep storage areas free from accumulated materials that can cause tripping, fires, or explosions or that may contribute to the trades’ personal safety. Below Satisfactory. Improve.

Hazard Assessment

Hazard Assessment Construction sites differ considerably from other workplaces, such as offices or retail locations. They have a unique set of risks that other industries might not even have to consider. The injury rate is also higher in the construction industry compared to any other industry. Here are some things we’re looking for: - What is the weather like today - Front & back entry conditions - Site PPE & safety requirements - Trades working on-site - Fall protection in place, such as ramps & railings - Dangerous floor/wall openings - Site cleanliness & interior cleanliness - Adequate lighting & more…

Exterior

E BACK TO SUMMARY		Front of home For your records.
		Front Entry Looked at operation & overall building practice. Back Entry A record of what was seen this day.
		Focal Window Examining the flange, fasteners, envelope & more. Basement Window See above.
		Exterior Outlet Location Exterior Faucet Location

Exterior

		Focal Window 2 For your records. At the framing stage, when inspecting all windows, we’re checking that each unit is properly framed with the right structural components in place. This includes verifying that cripple studs are evenly spaced and support the sill, king studs run full height for structural integrity, and jack studs are properly installed to carry the load from the header above. We ensure the headers are the correct size for span and load, especially over larger openings, and that everything is square, level, and securely fastened. We also check for proper rough opening dimensions to ensure the window will fit correctly and function as intended.
		Basement Window 2 All windows checked as per plan and for egress as per Verrado code regulations

Exterior

		The Vents Dirty intake/exhaust vents could impede their ability to function. Vents & Utilities
		Exterior Penetrations See finger. Flashings Inspected for presence & continuity.
		Electrical Entry Point Determining how electricity is making its way into the home. The Electrical Meter Location Approx. location. See photo.
		The Gas We’ve noticed a bobcat backfilling nearby. Please have Barry install safety measures. No protect. Install barrier. The Gas Meter Location Approx. See photo.

Exterior+

		Perimeter Grading Management of water drainage is paramount! Water should ALWAYS drain away from the foundation. Grading Should drop a minimum of 3" every 10 feet away from the home.
		Ground Site Cleanliness See photo & hand gesture. Pathway Material
		Exterior Sheathing The protective layers between the home & the external elements. Exterior Sheathing 2 For your records.
		Foundation Examining for cold pours, honeycombing, fractures & more. Foundation Waterproofing Aids in preventing penetration of water to some degree.

Exterior

		Foundation Overall A snap shot of how things look today. This may need a staggered injection by basement systems. This could very well be from the blowout we experienced at cribbing. Make sure it’s done before backfill with photographic evidence. Hairline / Small Crack(s). Improve seal off.
		Foundation 2 Overall, very good poor. Satisfactory there are some proving materials laying about please have cribbers come back to clean up. Cribbing material laying anout. Clean up and remove.

Exterior

Exterior Stuff While we're somewhat able to control the environment (temperature, lighting) inside our homes, we have very little control over the weather buffeting our homes outside. This is why it's so important the shell of the home is built right! Here are some things we’re looking at: Exterior cladding Windows & doors Foundation & grading Decks & porches Sidewalks & driveways Site cleanliness & more…

Garage

G BACK TO SUMMARY		Secondary Garage Page
		Garage Motor Location Approx. See photo. Missing Backing. Install / Marked. Garage Safety Sensors Location Approx. See photo. Height marked.
		Inside Garage Door Examining for damage, installation, functionality & more.

Garage

		Garage Floor
		Garage Header The horizontal beam provided along the opening in full length for the garage door with the purpose of evenly distributing the weight around the opening.
		Overall Garage A snap shot of how things look today.

Garage

The Garage Perhaps no other part of your home experiences as much wear & tear as your overhead garage door.

The average garage door will go up & down more than 1000 times a year. When kept in good working order, it provides convenience & security.

But...a neglected door can not only become as noisy as a locomotive but also poses a significant safety risk to your family, especially your kids. Tighten the nuts & bolts.

Because your door moves, the hardware can loosen. Inspect & tighten all roller brackets & bolts that hold the rails to the support brackets.

Lubricate the chain or the screw on your opener annually with white lithium grease. Spray-on versions are available at most home centers. Lubrication will make the opener's operation smoother & quieter & extend the life of both the chain & opener.

Inspect & maintain your garage door annually for safety & convenience sake.

Attic

A BACK TO SUMMARY		Attic Chapter A section of a house typically located above the main living area, often used for storage or as an additional living space.
		The Hatch Entry Please see blueprints. Not a great location being as it’s in the laundry room where conditioner can find its way into a cold/hot space Not as per plan. Reinstall/relocate. Hatch Location
		Vapor Barrier The plastic built to resist the diffusion of moisture through the wall, floor, ceiling, or roof assemblies
		Attic Skirt Wide angle, up close. Incorrect product and height. Rebuild reinstall.

Attic

		Overall Roof Framing Looking for the best building practice. Things like ridge blocking, wind strapping, penetrations, baffles & so much more.
		Overall Roof Framing 2 When inspecting the overall framing of a brand-new home, we focus on structural alignment, fastening methods, and key load-bearing transitions. In particular, the unique and trust (truss) area is closely evaluated for proper bracing, hanger installation, and any signs of stress at connection points. We ensure all engineered designs have been followed and confirm there are no visible modifications or damage that could compromise integrity. Even in new builds, it’s essential to document everything before drywall goes up—because once it’s covered, it’s out of sight and out of mind.

Attic

		Attic Sheathing The protective covering used to install the rest of your roofing components.
		Attic Baffles A snap shot of how things look today.
		Roof Vents They extend the life of the roof, regulate indoor temperatures, & reduce the cost of energy. Bear in mind this is a quick walkabout frame check not all roof fences are cut as per plans. This would be all considered incomplete at this time. Incomplete. Install as per plan.
		Overall Roof Framing 3 All gang nails in Simpson strong ties checked for continuity as per plans and supplier.

Attic

The Attic You may never have taken the time to look inside the attic of your home, but knowing its condition can save you $$$.

The access is usually in a discreet place like a closet & will require the use of a ladder or chair to climb up.

Pushing open the hatch, you'll most likely find a space that runs the length & width of your home & contains nothing more than insulation & the roof framing.

Not exactly glamorous, but it serves an essential structural purpose. IF it isn't properly maintained, it could cause you many headaches in the future.

The bottom line, your attic is an essential part of your home. A toque (sock hat) in winter, an umbrella in spring, & shade in the hot summers.

Interior Cleanliness

It’s natural to favor the more aesthetically-pleasing properties. However, cosmetic features are often decorative & trendy extras. Instead, the underlying features & value of the home are top of our minds.

This includes things like:

- Plug & switch locations - Low voltage (like TV stuff)
- Interior doors & accompanying hardware
- Sub-flooring & how it was fastened
- Windows & protection
- Overall interior framing & backing
- Register, return air locations & more…

Kitchen Area

If you're like most people, the kitchen is one of the busiest rooms of your home. It's probably not surprising, then, that the kitchen can also be one of the messiest.

To keep your kitchen safe, healthy, & inviting, come up with a cleaning routine that helps you tackle & prevent grime.

Putting the trash out keeps your kitchen fresh & prevents bacterial growth. Messy counters take up workspace & can be hazardous. Wash the inside of your sink & faucet every day to remove bacteria.

Sweep your floors daily & mop once a week. Toss old food, clean the seal & sanitize the fridge shelves. The dishwasher also needs love from time to time (as in, clean the filter!)

Keep a small fire extinguisher in your kitchen. Put out cooking fires before they have a chance to spread. Don't have a fire extinguisher yet? Put out kitchen grease fires by covering the container with a metal lid. This starves the fire of oxygen, so it goes out.

Structure

Structural Info It is not possible to accurately determine the extent of past conditions or to predict future concerns. We inspect the structural components, including the foundation & framing, by seeking a representative number of structural components where deterioration is suspected or where clear indications of possible deterioration exist. Engineering or architectural services such as calculating structural capacities, adequacy, or integrity are not part of a home inspection. Furniture and/or storage restricted access to some structural components. Structural components concealed behind finished surfaces could not be inspected. Please see the Mechanical section for pictures.
