I've had a great experience with Adam. He was professional and also very thorough. Learned a lot about the house because of him. He spent over 5 hours going thru inspection on every part of the house and explaining them to me in details. His reports are also very well organized. I would ask for his service for any residential inspection

What Is a Condominium Inspection?
A condominium (condo) inspection is a crucial step in buying or selling a condominium unit, whether in a low-rise or a high-rise. It involves a thorough examination of the unit's condition by a licensed home inspector, who will identify any potential issues or defects.
The inspection includes review of the unit's interiors, kitchen and appliances, bathrooms, electrical and plumbing systems. The inspection report provides buyers with valuable information about the unit's condition, and recommendations for repairs or further action.
By getting a condominium inspection, you can ensure a smooth and stress-free transaction, and make an informed decision about your investment.

Condo Know-How
Top 6 Things We Watch for in Condominiums
A condominium inspection is different from a house inspection. You're buying one unit in a shared building, so what happens next door, upstairs and in the strata matters as much as what's inside your walls. These are the six things we look at most closely.
Water from above and next door
Leaks from the unit above, a shared wall or a plumbing stack are the most common condo problem. We check ceilings, walls and floors with thermal imaging and a moisture meter, look under sinks and around tubs and showers, and note any old water stains for you to ask the strata about.
Windows, balcony doors and balconies
Failed window seals, condensation, worn weatherstripping and balcony membranes are common sources of leaks and drafts. We check how windows and sliding doors open, seal and drain, and look at the balcony surface, slope and railings you can see from your unit.
Leaky-condo-era buildings
Many condominiums built between about 1985 and 2000 were part of BC's leaky condo crisis. We look for signs of moisture at windows and exterior walls, and recommend checking the strata minutes and depreciation report for rainscreen work that's done or coming up.
In-suite plumbing and water heaters
We identify the type of plumbing, including Poly-B, check the water heater's age, drain pan and connections, test fixtures and drains, and look at washer hoses and shut-off valves, since a small leak in a condo can quickly become your neighbour's problem too.
Read our Poly-B guide βElectrical, heating and ventilation
We open the electrical panel to look for double-tapped breakers, loose wires and signs of overheating, and test outlets, including GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms. We look at baseboard heaters, in-suite heat pumps or fan coils, and bathroom and dryer vents, which often have long duct runs in condos that collect lint and moisture.
What's yours and what's the strata's
Our inspection covers your unit and the common property we can see from it. Many costly repairs, like the roof, building envelope and elevators, are shared through the strata. We point out anything visible that's worth asking about, and recommend reviewing the strata minutes, depreciation report and Form B before you remove subjects.

No. A condominium inspection covers your unit and the common property we can see from it, like your balcony, windows and the walls and ceilings you share. The roof, building envelope, parkade and other common areas belong to the strata, so we recommend reviewing the strata minutes, depreciation report and Form B to see their condition and any planned repairs.
Ask for at least two years of strata council and AGM minutes, the depreciation report, the Form B information certificate, the bylaws and the budget. Look for leaks, envelope or rainscreen work, special levies, insurance deductibles and how much is in the contingency reserve fund. Your realtor or lawyer can help you review them.
Yes. We inspect new condos before possession and before your 2-5-10 home warranty deadlines, so you can report deficiencies to the builder while they're still covered.
