🚿 $400

Sewer Inspection

Camera inspection of the main sewer line to identify blockages, root intrusion, cracks, or deterioration.

🌡️ $100

Infrared Heat Loss Detection

Thermal imaging to identify missing insulation, air leaks, moisture intrusion, and energy loss — invisible to the naked eye.

🧫 $150

Mold Sampling & Analysis

Surface or air sampling sent to a certified lab to identify mold type and concentration levels.

⚗️ $250

Asbestos Testing & Analysis

Material samples collected and lab-tested for asbestos — important for older homes built before the 1990s.

⚠️ Destructive Testing Notice
Asbestos sampling requires the collection of small material samples (e.g. drywall, floor tile, insulation). This is considered destructive testing and requires the written permission of the property owner before we can proceed. We will discuss this with you prior to testing.
💨 $350

Air Quality Testing & Analysis

Comprehensive indoor air quality assessment including VOCs, particulates, CO₂ levels, and other contaminants.

🚁 $100

Drone Photography

Aerial drone photos of the roof and exterior — great for steep or hard-to-access rooflines, property documentation, and gorgeous celebration or home sale photos to mark the occasion!

📐 Homes over 2,500 sq ft — pricing may vary. Contact us for a custom quote.

What Homeowners Are Saying

Real feedback from buyers and sellers across Northwest BC.

★★★★★

As a first-time buyer I was nervous, but the inspector walked me through every single issue in plain language. I felt totally prepared going into negotiations. Highly recommend!

★★★★★

Very thorough inspection on an older home in Kitimat. The report was detailed with great photos. Found a few things I never would have noticed. Well worth every dollar.

Dave & Lisa K.

★★★★★

Booked a pre-listing inspection before selling. It helped us fix a couple of small things ahead of time and our sale went smoothly. Great local company to work with.
