FAQs
What is a home inspector looking for?
A professional home inspector evaluates the overall condition of a property’s major systems and components. This includes the roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, attic, basement, and visible interior and exterior elements.
At Emerald Property Inspections, we look for safety concerns, structural issues, water damage, improper installations, aging systems, and signs of potential future problems.
How much is a home inspection?
The cost of a home inspection typically ranges from $400 to $700+, depending on the size, age, and type of property. Larger homes, older properties, and additional services like sewer scope or thermal imaging may affect pricing.
How long do home inspections take?
Most home inspections take 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. Larger or older homes may require more time to thoroughly assess.
We never rush inspections. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive, detailed evaluation so nothing important is overlooked.
What are some red flags for home inspectors?
Some common red flags include:
- Foundation cracks or structural movement
- Water damage or signs of moisture intrusion
- Mold growth or poor ventilation
- Outdated or unsafe electrical panels
- Roof damage or aging shingles
- Plumbing leaks or Poly-B piping
- HVAC systems nearing end-of-life
Identifying these early can save buyers thousands in unexpected repairs.
Should I get a home inspection on a new build?
Yes. Even newly constructed homes can have deficiencies. A new home inspection helps ensure the builder’s work meets proper standards and that no issues were overlooked during construction.
Can I attend the home inspection?
Absolutely. We encourage buyers to attend the inspection. It allows you to ask questions, understand the home’s systems, and gain valuable maintenance insights.
Is a home inspection required in Alberta?
Home inspections are not legally required in Alberta, but they are strongly recommended. A professional inspection protects buyers by identifying hidden issues before finalizing the purchase.
