Could your home have one?
Your inspector checks the visible and accessible areas where serious surprises often hide, giving you and your Realtor time to respond before the buyer’s inspection and giving your first accepted offer a better chance of reaching closing.
Visible mold is one of the fastest ways to make some buyers uncomfortable with a home. Concerns about health, hidden moisture and remediation can quickly become part of the negotiation.
Evidence of mice or rats can be a major emotional deal breaker. Some buyers simply will not live in a home where they believe rodents are active, regardless of how manageable the problem may be.
Poly-B can be a major concern for buyers because of its history of leakage and the insurance issues it can create. A home with Poly-B may require replacement or additional investigation by the buyer’s insurer.

Common questions
Still deciding whether an inspection fits your sale? Our team can help you understand the process before you book.
Call 778-877-7540Yes. Despite the name, a pre-listing inspection can be completed while the home is actively on the market. The sooner you receive the findings, the sooner you and your Realtor can decide how to handle repairs, disclosure and report sharing.
Choose a Walk & Talk Consultation for up to one hour of on-site advice about the biggest visible concerns, or a Complete Pre-Listing Inspection for the same comprehensive scope and professional standard as a buyer inspection, including a detailed digital report.
The time depends on the home’s size, age and condition. When you request a quote, our team can provide a more accurate time estimate for your property.
The Walk & Talk Consultation costs 50% of the regular inspection price. A Complete Pre-Listing Inspection is priced like a buyer inspection for the same property. Use the quote button to choose an option and see the exact price.
The deferred-payment option is available with the Complete Pre-Listing Inspection. A credit card is securely added through Stripe when you book. Payment is charged when the home sale closes, or 90 days after the inspection if the sale has not closed by then. Program terms and eligibility apply.
Yes. Repair estimates for important findings are included, and your real estate agent receives them in the Inspect Canada app to help you decide what may be worth repairing.
Yes. If you need help finding trades, we will connect you and your agent through the Inspect Canada app. You are welcome to use your own trades.
No. The report gives you information. You and your Realtor can decide whether to repair an item, disclose it, obtain a quote, monitor it or reflect it in the listing strategy.
Finding a major concern does not force you to complete every repair or publish the report. It gives you time to understand the condition, obtain specialist advice or estimates, and discuss the best repair, disclosure or pricing strategy with your Realtor.
Yes, sellers often make the report available to prospective buyers when it supports their marketing and disclosure strategy. Your Realtor can advise you on the best way to use it for your sale.
Yes. The original inspection report is not changed. The seller can add completed repairs and estimates as supporting information that is included with the report download.
Your agent can share a report-access link through listing materials and follow up with interested buyers who request access. This can turn the inspection report into both an information tool and a source of buyer leads.
Make sure the inspector can safely reach the electrical panel, attic access, furnace, water heater, plumbing fixtures and other major systems. Unlock gates and utility rooms, and move stored items away from access points where practical.
Inspect Canada provides a clear digital report the same day as the inspection, with photos, organized findings and practical explanations.
Inspect Canada serves Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and nearby Lower Mainland communities. Contact the team if the property is outside the usual service area.
