Pre-Purchase Inspections – Don’t Buy Blind

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make. A pre-purchase inspection can uncover issues such as poor drainage, roof wear, foundation problems, or mold. Pre-purchase inspections in Ottawa provide peace of mind and negotiation power before you commit to a property.

Pre-Listing Inspections – A Smart Move for Sellers

A seller’s inspection (pre-listing) allows homeowners to fix problems in advance and avoid last-minute deal-breakers. This proactive approach ensures transparency and can speed up the sale process. Many Ottawa sellers are now using this service to improve buyer confidence and close deals faster.

Tarion Warranty Inspections – Protect Your Investment

New homes in Ontario come with a Tarion warranty, and getting a third-party inspection during your 30-day, 1-year, or 2-year window is critical. We offer Tarion-compliant inspections in Ottawa that meet legal standards and document any deficiencies builders need to fix.

Infrared Thermal Imaging – See What’s Hidden

Some problems can’t be seen with the naked eye. Our thermal imaging inspections detect moisture behind walls, missing insulation, and electrical hotspots. This advanced technology adds an extra layer of protection during every inspection.

Commercial Inspections – Beyond Residential

Business owners and real estate investors also benefit from Sean’s expertise. Commercial property inspections in Ottawa include structural evaluations, HVAC assessments, and code compliance—helping owners avoid legal or safety issues in multi-unit or mixed-use properties.

WETT Inspections – Safety First for Wood Appliances

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves need proper certification. A WETT inspection in Ottawa ensures safety, efficiency, and insurance compliance. Sean Shea is WETT-certified and provides clear, accurate documentation for insurance and real estate needs.
