SEPTIC SYSTEMS: from the tank to the weeping tile, we can help you evaluate the efficiency and operation of your sewage system whether it be traditional or higher efficiency systems
BACTERIAL GROWTH: If you are concerned about stains or smells within your home then investigations can be made to determine high levels of moisture which would promote moulding conditions. Although detailed lab work may be required to establish the specifics of the type and issues with the growth a fast response swab test can be performed on site.
Playstructure Inspection: If there is playstructure on the property, or if you are involved with a business that operates a playstructure then this can be inspected in accordance with CSA Z614-07 and the Protective Surface where applicable to ASTM F 1292. This applies to annual inspections, quarterly, or more regular as dictated by the registration requirements of regional government for Childcare facilities.

One of our areas of focus is on the safety of your home and surroundings, both the environment itself and the safety of the systems and their usage.

We start at the roof and evaluate not only the roof surface, but also the chimney, the ventilation system, the electrical service entrance, the plumbing stack, and any other systems or components located on the roof.
Our next step is to inspect the exterior of the home. We use a macro and micro approach to look at both the big picture and all the details.
We then move inside the house, and starting at the bottom, work our way up through the home into the attic. While inside, we address such things as the structure, the heating and cooling systems, the electrical and plumbing systems, the interior finishes, the insulation and ventilation, and accessories such as fireplaces.
Our evaluation is then communicated through a detailed inspection report, which includes descriptions of all the systems in the home, as well as any recommended improvements. This will help you prioritize the improvements and develop a blueprint for your future in the home.
Best of all, our services don't end with the inspection. For as long as you own the home, you can call with any additional questions - at no extra charge!
