WAINWRIGHT HOME INSPECTIONS
Serving Wainwright and Surrounding Areas​
Prior to getting my inspectors license in Alberta, I have been a professional firefighter since 2007 which I continue to proudly serve at. Before my firefighting career I worked in the construction and property maintenance industry, taking a plumbing apprenticeship building new construction and was the caretaker for a large apartment complex as well as high rise buildings. I am a Graduate of the Carson Dunlop Home Inspection training as well as WETT Inc wood burning systems level 1, and am a Certified Professional Inspector with the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (Inter-NACHI) and follow their Standards Of Practice.
Additional services to basic home inspections include WETT (wood stoves, fireplaces, pellet stoves) and sewer scopes. Most insurance companies will require a WETT inspection on any property turnover. Sewer scopes are very beneficial, especially at older properties where an untold number of costly issues can be buried underground. Cracked cast iron, root invasion, and clogged main drains are common finds and can be very costly to repair.
What is a home inspection and why would I get one done?
A home inspection is a non-invasive, thorough investigation of every component of your future home by an experienced, well trained inspector. Think of a home inspection like a visit to your GP doctor. An inspector will test all components of the home (heating system, plumbing, A/C, electrical, structure, roof, exterior, interior) and give you a detailed report containing everything you and/or your insurance company needs to know. Any deficiencies will be noted and photographed with advice on how to resolve the problem. The proper R value of your attic insulation will be assessed, and a remaining service life estimate of all components is given in the report (furnace, hot water tank, roof covering).
​
As it is a non-invasive procedure, just like your GP doctor noticing a major problem during your checkup....if your inspector notices a serious defect, you will be referred to a specialist for further investigation. An example would be an odd burn pattern on a furnace or cracked heat exchanger, you will be advised to have a licensed technician inspect that system further.
