If you are like most first time property owners, you have little knowledge on houses. You might look at a property that seems perfect for your needs, but beneath the surface all kinds of trouble may be hiding. A proper inspection will uncover many kinds of defects in a house.
Many Canadians do not know what to look for when they shop for homes. For example, there may be subtle signs that something is wrong if you notice patches on the walls or ceilings. Your inspector will examine the house in detail and note all the little things that add up to big problems in the future.
A professional inspection is complete and leaves no stone unturned. For instance, the electrical system will be carefully looked at. It is vital to make sure a house has conformed to all electrical standards. Otherwise your new house may have problems that could lead to fires or other unsafe conditions.
Many house shoppers do not bother to check plumbing to see if it works. A good inspector checks all the plumbing and especially the drains. Slow drains may be something easy to fix, or could be a sign of serious problems with a septic system. It is vital to know about these things before you decide to make an offer on a property.
