Home Inspections

Why is a Home Inspection Important?

When purchasing a new home, a Foundation & Up Home Inspection ensures that you are aware of any underlying and potentially costly issues. Knowing what you are purchasing, even if there are issues, gives you the peace that there will be no surprises. A home inspection will reveal any issues that exist or may exist in the future, giving you bargaining power and comprehensive information when purchasing.

When selling your home, a home inspection from Foundation & Up will provide you with the information you need to ensure you are getting the best price in the sale. Furthermore, it gives you the opportunity to rectify any issues that will impede the maximum value of your home, or that may come back to haunt you after the sale through litigation. A home inspection gives you peace of mind in the sale or purchase, which is already stressful enough.

What is Covered in a Home Inspection?

Foundation & Up Home Inspections are systematic and thorough and follow the current and complete guidelines of the CSA A770-16 Standard of Practice. We will inspect your home or your prospective home examining each of the following areas of concern:

• Structural Systems
• Exterior Systems

• Plumbing Systems
• Electrical Systems
• Heating Systems
• Fireplaces & Solid Fuel Burning Appliances

When Foundation & Up completes a home inspection, we provide you with a comprehensive and complete written report detailing our findings. Our home inspection reports are well respected by lenders and real estate agents in Ottawa and the surrounding area. We have built that respect over many years and continue to be a leader in the home inspection industry.
