Welcome to Safecheck Home Inspections Inc.

The purchase of any building is a significant investment and an important decision in your family’s future. The risks of home ownership cannot be taken lightly. However, when equipped the assistance of an professional home inspector, you benefit from an independent, unbiased, and professional inspection that provides  buying a new homeinvaluable information that will allow you to make informed decisions.

To ignore the benefits of professional inspection is to invite financial loss and to take an unnecessary risk.

Our professional inspectors will point out any problems with a new property as well as taking the time to explain them to you. They will also show you the good points of the property so you better understand the value. Furthermore, our inspectors will explain what routine maintenance is needed to keep the house in top condition and maintain its current value. This will help you to get the most benefit from the inspection and gain the most understanding of the systems that make up your home.


We provide a comprehensive report that is easy to understand. Everything identified during the inspection will be included in the report.

Your professional home inspector is much like your family doctor. They are generalists. Just like your doctor might look at your symptoms and refer you onto a heart specialist, a home inspector will look at various aspects in your home, like a wood burning unit, and refer you onto a qualified professional, such as a WETT (Wood Energy Technical Trained) certified contractor.

Inspection Tip #1

  • Confirm the water to the residence is on.
  • Confirm the electric service is on.
  • Confirm the gas service is on and the pilot lights to the gas appliances are lit.

This is particularly important if the residence has been vacant or a substantial period of time or has been winterized.

Inspection Tip #2

Insure pets won't hinder the inspection. Ideally, pets should be removed from the premises or secured outdoors. Remember, the inspection includes the exterior of the residence.

 

Inspection Tip #3

  • Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, replace any dead batteries.
  • Replace all burnt out light bulbs, in both the indoor and outdoor fixtures. This will prevent the inspector reporting a fixture did not respond, which may lead someone to the conclusion there may be an electrical problem.
  • Replace any dirty air filters and/or any filters that aren't the correct size.
  • Trim tree limbs to 10ft from the roof and shrubs from the house to allow access.
