Buying a home is likely the biggest investment you’ll ever make. Protect it with a home inspection and indoor air quality test.
Professional inspection companies, such as Inch By Inch Inspections, provide detailed insight into the property you’re purchasing. Since inspectors vary in experience and thoroughness, make sure to engage a reputable inspection company.
Inch By Inch offers home and commercial property inspections, indoor air quality testing, mould remediation, and asbestos testing, all conducted according to recognized industry standards. Clients receive objective reporting so they can make informed decisions about their property.
Peace of mind
A home inspection is easy to complete and typically only takes a few hours. Certified inspectors will assess the exterior and interior of your home or building, including electrical, plumbing, roofing, HVAC, and foundation. These inspections can uncover potentially life-threatening problems, such as mould or faulty wiring that could cause a fire.
Many lenders won’t offer financing on a property without an inspection. But don’t wait for the bank to demand one — a home inspection gives buyers peace of mind by identifying any potential issues before closing. It can also serve as a contingency in your contract, allowing you to back out if the inspection reveals significant issues.
The inspector provides a detailed report outlining any safety concerns and defects. This lets you know what work might be needed in the short, medium, and long term.
Breathe easy
The air you breathe inside your home shouldn’t make you sick. Many pollutants are invisible or odourless, so an expert is needed to assess and address them. Inch By Inch uses state-of-the-art technology to test indoor air quality and provide property owners with a detailed analysis of pollutants and other factors contributing to poor air quality.
Some common pollutants that impact air quality in a home include:
- Airborne spores and bacteria from mould
- Allergens created by poor air circulation
- CO2 buildup from improper venting
Test for mould
The biggest culprit contributing to home air quality issues is mould growth. Mould is an organic fungus that can easily grow and spread in areas with poor air circulation and high humidity, such as basements and attics.
If you suspect poor air quality or mould in your home, trust a professional who can test for and remove mould, asbestos, bacteria, high levels of CO2, and more.
