  2. CRITERIA BASED ON WHICH YOU SHOULD CHOOSE A HOME INSPECTOR

  3. During the process of buying a condo or house, it is essential to hire the services of experienced home inspectors. They thoroughly examine the various aspects of a house and make an assessment of how strong the foundation and structural framework of a house is. They look into the different systems like plumbing, structural and electrical systems and advice the owners of having the necessary repairs done. From the pre-purchase house inspection to the warranty, pre-listing, new construction, and thermal imagining, a certified master inspector offers a wide array of services. Since the industry is appreciably self-regulating you need to base your search on certain factors for choosing a proficient home inspector. Here are the criteria to take into account. Proper Training: Before hiring an inspector for your home inspection, it is important to know about the training he has received. As most of the provinces in Canada do not require inspectors to possess a proper license it is essential to know his education level before appointing him to the task. However, some Canadian provinces offer training programs for home inspections and inspector you hire should have at least the basic knowledge of these programs.

  4. Experience: The longer the inspector is in the business; more would he be experienced about his work. An experienced inspector would consider factors like weather and age-related problems, different construction methods, building codes of different areas, knowledge of the multiple and single unit dwellings etc. Having a vast wealth of knowledge helps the inspector to quickly and effectively identify problems in a dwelling. Certification: Only two of the provinces in Canada, such as Alberta and British Columbia require the home inspectors to be certified. Areas not included in these jurisdictions do not require all inspectors to be certified. Hence many of the home inspectors in Canada are not licensed but there are certain bodies that set the practice standards and ethical codes for protecting the homeowners who hire the home inspectors. Thus hiring a professional inspector accredited by such associations is wise. Written Agreement: A reputed ‘home inspector’ would offer a written agreement stating clearly the areas of his expertise and responsibilities. This would not only state the extent of the inspector’s liability should any damage to the property occurs but would safeguard the homeowner from fraudulent Calgary home inspections instead. By keeping all these above-mentioned factors in mind choosing a suitable inspector for home inspection, during the process of buying or selling a home would be a breeze. Hire an experienced master inspector from PC home Inspections and we would help you in protecting your investment so that you can reap long-term benefits from it.
