🔍 What’s Covered in a Home Inspection?

Most inspections review the roof, foundation, structure, electrical systems, plumbing, insulation, HVAC, windows, and appliances. Inspectors aim to uncover visible and accessible problems, but some issues may remain hidden.

👷 Hiring a Qualified Home Inspector in BC

In British Columbia, home inspectors must be licensed through Consumer Protection BC (CPBC). Before hiring, always verify their license status.
