What We Inspect and Why - House Inspectors Vancouver

At Harrison Home Inspections, our role as professional home inspectors is to inform you on the property's condition, habitability and safety. As properly trained home inspectors, we will review your house as a system, looking at how one component of the house might affect the operability or life span of another. We will go through the property and perform a comprehensive visual inspection to assess the condition of the house and all of its systems. We will determine the components that are not performing properly as well as items that are beyond their useful life or are unsafe. We will also identify areas where repairs may be needed or where there may have been problems in the past. Inspections are intended to provide the client with a better understanding of property conditions, as observed at the time of the inspection.
