Why a Home Inspection Matters in Ottawa
Ottawa’s real estate market is competitive and fast-moving. Whether you are purchasing your first home or selling your current property, a comprehensive home inspection ensures:
-
Informed buying decisions
-
Accurate listing prices
-
Reduced risks of post-sale disputes
-
Clear understanding of necessary repairs
At A to Z Home Inspections, we believe knowledge is power — and our job is to empower you.
Pre-Purchase Home Inspection: Know Before You Buy
A pre-purchase home inspection in Ottawa is your best defense against future surprises. We evaluate the home's condition, structure, roofing, foundation, plumbing, HVAC, electrical systems, and more. We identify visible defects, potential issues, and safety concerns so you can negotiate better — or walk away with confidence.
WETT Inspections: Wood-Burning Appliances Done Right
If your home includes a wood stove, fireplace, or pellet stove, a WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer) inspection is crucial — especially for insurance approval. A to Z Home Inspections is fully certified to conduct these inspections in Ottawa. We check for clearances, proper installation, and maintenance compliance.
Thermal Imaging: See What the Eye Can’t
One of the most advanced services we offer is infrared thermal imaging. This non-invasive technology detects:
-
Hidden moisture behind walls
-
Heat loss areas
-
Electrical hotspots
-
Poor insulation zones
Our certified inspectors use thermal imaging to find issues that traditional inspections can miss.
Tarion Warranty Inspections: New Homes Need Checks Too
Buying a new home? Don’t assume everything is perfect. We offer Tarion Warranty inspections that cover all major components before your 30-day, 1-year, or 2-year deadlines. We document issues in a format compliant with Tarion standards.
Commercial Inspections: Protect Your Investment
For business and commercial property buyers, our commercial inspections cover a wide range of systems including roofing, HVAC, plumbing, structural elements, and fire safety compliance. Avoid liability and make smart investment decisions with a clear inspection report.
