Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections examine structural components and building systems to identify defects. Certified inspectors evaluate roofs, foundations, electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC units. Clients receive detailed reports with photographic documentation and repair recommendations.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Pre-sale property evaluations help sellers identify maintenance needs before listing. This proactive approach demonstrates transparency to buyers while potentially increasing marketability. The report establishes property condition baselines for smoother transactions.
Radon Testing
Professional radon level measurement using continuous monitoring technology. Our C-NRPP-certified process follows Canadian guidelines for accuracy. Results include mitigation recommendations when levels exceed 200 Bq/m3 safety thresholds.
HVAC Inspection
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems undergo visual and operational examination. Inspectors assess equipment condition, efficiency, and safety compliance. Findings help anticipate maintenance costs and system longevity.

We examine foundation integrity for cracks, moisture intrusion, and settlement issues. Attic and crawlspace evaluations identify hidden structural concerns. Our reports include repair prioritization guidance to prevent future damage.

Report
David was extremely helpful during the home inspection process. He ultimately helped us back out of a house, due to the numerous amount of underlying issues that would have never been caught. He was very thorough with his analysis and can't stress enough how friendly and responsive he was with scheduling and getting back to us with the report.

Report
David has been a great asset during my first home purchase. Unsure as to who I should hire for my home inspection, my brother recommended David and I couldn't be happier. David clearly explained what he would be doing before the inspection occured, and thoroughly went over his report with me in person upon completion. He pointed out issues I would have otherwise never caught, and gave me the confidence to bring up said issues at closing to ensure my home was up to the correct standards. I would highly recommend David as he simplifies what can be a complex process, clearly has ample experience,

Report
Excellent home inspection. Even though the home was a couple years old, David found several defects that we were able to negotiate with the seller to repair. His computer report is very well presented and easy to understand. I highly recommend HomeScope if you're looking for a professional home inspection company.
