Buying a home is a huge milestone, but even if a property looks perfect, there could be hidden issues. That’s where a home inspection comes in. It’s a full checkup of the home’s condition, helping you spot problems before they become costly surprises.
A certified inspector will look at the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and more. It’s your chance to learn exactly what you're buying—and whether it's worth it.
Why It’s Important:
Protects your investment
Gives you peace of mind
Helps you negotiate or walk away if needed
Most inspections take 2–3 hours. I always recommend being there so you can see things firsthand and ask questions. Afterward, you'll get a detailed report showing what’s working and what needs attention.
Common Issues Found:
Leaky roofs or pipes
Electrical problems
Mold, poor ventilation, or drainage issues
Structural concerns
Some problems are minor. Others may need a specialist. Either way, it's better to know before you commit.
Final Thoughts
A home inspection is one of the smartest things you can do when buying a home, especially in Ottawa. It gives you clarity, confidence, and the chance to make the best decision for you and your family.
