Inspections are performed by myself, Daryl Mikalson, Master's Environmental Science, P.Eng, a Certified
Home Inspector. I
am committed to perform a comprehensive inspection using a diagnostic checklist of over 250 symptoms indicative of
defects and maintenance required. The checklist is based on the collected knowledge of experienced inspectors. I will take the time
required to give your home a complete assessment. My primary concern is your health, safety and peace
of mind in your largest investment.
A state of the art inspection reporting system provides an easy to read approximately 50 page report, including
photos, specific to your home or potential home. The report includes summaries of Defects (items over $1000
or health and safety issues) and Maintenance Requirements by area of the home with Recommendations. The summaries forms a easy to follow plan to upgrade your property
prior to listing, highlights issues to consider prior to purchase, or is a checklist for ongoing maintenance. |
I will provide an inspection n accordance with InterNACHI of practice, see link below, and the National Occupational
Standard Professional Home and Property Inspector (http://www.cahpi.ca/images/stories/pdfs/hpi%20revised%20nos%20final%20-%20june%202008.pdf). InterNACHI provides extensive training and support. A Certified
Home Inspector must adhere to the most stringent code of ethics in the home inspection industry, and complete a minimum 24
hours of inspection related continuing education each year. |
