A Buyer's Choice Home Inspections Ottawa West

A truly awesome find! Make your guess in the comments if you think you know what it is!

Can you spot the problem? Doing any plumbing work yourself? We always recommend having a professional plumber do any major work. But should you decide to change a fixture yourself, be careful to not over tighten the line. Not only was the water line twisted but it was also leaking!

Having access to your attic is important for regular inspection by the homeowner. On occasion, we find homes that have actually closed and sealed the attic access. In this particular home, our infrared camera located the attic hatch and was visibly missing insulation. The bright yellow colours seen in the IR photo indicate how much heat is coming through the ceiling.

Another interesting and unusual find! In every homes plumbing system, you have a plumbing vent or plumbing stack which allows all your water drainage to breathe and flow properly. Normally an ABS, cast iron or copper pipe is routed through the roofline for the plumbing vent. In this case, one of our inspectors found a baby wipes container capping the vent, with an interlock stone on top of it! Not only does this affect the drainage flow, but this also presents a safety hazard to the occupants should the interlock stone fall off.

Another fine example that well do just about anything to get into an attic This attic hatch was about 8 inches wide!

Our Ottawa West team has grown by another member! A warm welcome goes out to Scott Neilson - we are thrilled to have you join our growing team of home inspectors in the Ottawa and surrounding area.

Spa tubs can be one of the most relaxing places to be at the end of a cold winter day, but without proper cleaning and maintenance they can be just the opposite! The picture below shows just how much growth can take place without regular maintenance, a mix of skin and mould will fill the jet lines. You should be cleaning your spa tub on a regular basis. ... Heres a quick and easy way to effectively clean your spa tub: Add two tablespoons of low-sudsing dish soap and 1/2 a cup of bleach after filling the tub with water, allow the jets to run for 10-15 minutes, drain the tub entirely, refill the tub with cold water, run the jets for another 10 minutes, drain and rinse!

Another pre-sale inspection on a townhome in Orleans completed by our team today. Reach out to Rhys Williams for more information on this property.

Finding the attic hatch in a home can sometimes be a challenge - gaining access to them can be just as challenging. In this case, what we thought may just be a difficult-to-reach closet, turned out to also be our access point to the attic.

Belated welcome to Rick Miceli, our team is quickly growing and Rick has been an asset since his launch with us in February. Welcome to our home inspection team Rick!

As much as we appreciate the ingenuity, this is far from safe! Yes, thats a car jack on top of a steel post meant to support the main floor!

This was a first for our team - careful not to overload your dryer, or put too much weight on top, otherwise this might just happen!
