The same day usually before Grant leaves the property. Reports are delivered electronically with photos, plain-language explanations, and a summary of significant issues your realtor can use in negotiations.

Structure, roof, exterior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, insulation, ventilation, and all interior rooms plus thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots.

Aluminum branch wiring in 1960s–70s homes, Poly-B plumbing in 1980s–90s builds (which can affect insurance), worn roofing, undersized perimeter drains, attic insulation gaps, and crawlspace moisture driven by the Fraser Valley's heavy rainfall.
