Check It Inspections

This is what happens when you do not adhere to proper clearances. This wires outer sheathing has been scorched. Definate fire hazard.

Wish everyone was this excited to change the furnace filter. @saraknull . .... . #homeinspection #homeinspections #homebuyers #realestate #yegrealtors #househunting #firsttimehomebuyers #realestatelife #realestatelife #property #homesweethome #yegrealestate #leduc #wetaskiwin #yeg #edmonton #camrose #devon #sherwoodpark #beaumont #inspectortodd #checkitinspections @internachi

Don't be like Andy, get an inspection!

Think the asphalt company better come back. Gonna need a ramp to get in this garage

Vacation Alert! Pretty great views from our home away from home. Back at it beginning of September!

Water management is so important. The neighbors downspout that collects about 2/3s of the water is near this spot and with negative grading towards the home this is the result.

Was a beautiful day for an acreage inspection yesterday! Stay hydrated everyone

Stay safe out there people! Crazy storm just passed. We have trees down in our yard, trees blocking roadways, and the local reservoir buildings roof flew completely off #why2020why

Finding multiple leaks these past few weeks. It might not be fun to inspect in the rain but it sure does expose those leaky homes!

Working on my inspector tan up on roofs! . . .... . #homeinspection #homeinspections #homebuyers #realestate #yegrealtors #househunting #firsttimehomebuyers #realestatelife #realestatelife #property #homesweethome #yegrealestate #leduc #wetaskiwin #yeg #edmonton #camrose #devon #sherwoodpark #beaumont #inspectortodd #checkitinspections See more

This roof was missing a number of things: no underlayment, no drip edge, exposed fasteners... Know what you are buying, get an inspection! . . .... #homeinspection #homeinspections #homebuyers #realestate #yegrealtors #househunting #firsttimehomebuyers #realestatelife #realestatelife #property #homesweethome #yegrealestate #leduc #wetaskiwin #yeg #edmonton #camrose #devon #sherwoodpark #beaumont #inspectortodd #checkitinspections See more

Time to update this smoke detector! Typically smoke detectors only last 10 years. When was the last time you changed yours? . . . #homeinspection #homeinspections #homebuyers #realestate #yegrealtors #househunting #firsttimehomebuyers #realestatelife #realestatelife #property #homesweethome #yegrealestate #leduc #wetaskiwin #yeg #edmonton #camrose #devon #sherwoodpark #beaumont #inspectortodd #checkitinspections

If you haven't put those downspouts down it is definitely time to do so. Snow melt from the roof and now rain need to be diverted away from the home. This house has an overfilled and frozen rain barrel. Water is spilling over and causing an ice rink by the side gate to the back yard. If you utilize a rain barrel it is best to have a diverter downspout while the freezing temperatures remain as the water will just freeze in the barrel and can even break it.

Not sure what they were thinking with this one!? The water line is protected with an internal shut off valve but there is no way to drain the water in the line on the outside. The majority of the line was obstructed but if it is not already leaking I bet it will.

Really neat house I inspected yesterday! Hopefully soon all that snow will be gone. #centuryhome #drone #dji Thanks as always for the referrals!

Just finished InterNACHI's course for Covid-19 safety guidelines. In these uncertain times it is best to stay informed on what you can do to help reduce the spread of this highly contagious virus. I recommend for now that you stay home while I inspect the home. The inspection reports are very thorough with ample pictures and descriptions. We can do a facetime walkthrough, phone call or whatever you need to ensure you are up to speed with the home you are purchasing.... Stay safe everyone!

Had a really bad squealing noise at my front wheel. Had to pull the tire off and found this little rock stuck against the rotor. Easy fix but thought it was allot worse. #phew #stupidrock

A very common issue with high efficiency furnaces is that the condensate line leaks. Best practice, you should be checking for this every time you change your filters.

Being a home owner for the first time can be overwhelming! While I help point out items in need of maintenance you may not have the tools. This is just a short list of some of the essential tools needed when keeping up with your homes maintenance.

Snip of the flight taking a look at the roof from yesterday. #dji #dronestagram #drone

This may seem like an innocent little screw but when used to fasten the cover for the electrical panel it can be hazardous. The pointed end can puncture wire insulation and electrify the panel box, becoming a shock or electrocution hazard. These screws should be replaced with approved, flat-tipped screws.

Shall we put another shrimp on the barbie!

If you have a high efficiency furnace with the exhaust pipes out the side of your home, you should be checking them daily in the winter for ice build up. Simply knock the ice off and check inside the pipes for build up. If these pipes clog with ice then eventually your furnace will stop working and may even cause damage.

With the temperatures as low as they are right now it is a good time to check your sump pump to make sure it is functioning. A frozen drain line can not only damage your pump but can lead to a flood in your home. Older homes in the Edmonton area will sometimes utilize a drain line that goes to the swale between you and your neighbors homes. This drain line should be removed in the winter and a splash block placed to direct the water away from the home.... Newer homes are now directing the water to the storm drains. If this is the case in your home you should have an elbow or some other way for the water to escape incase the line freezes. Every sump pit should also have an alarm set up incase the pump fails. The alarm can trigger your phone or make a loud noise, either way it lets you know something isn't working. If you dont know what to look for let me know and I can try and help you out!

Needing these today. -22C and the wind is not helping. Dont worry if you are crazy enough to follow along with me I got extras lol #brrr
