1. Information On Calgary Home Inspections

2. When selling a house, you may need to commission an
inspection before any buyers can come for viewing. An
interested buyer will always want to know what the
exact condition of a property is. Rather than wait for
him or her to do this, ensure the Calgary home
inspections are done in advance thereby leaving you
with ample time to have repairs done.

3. You should confirm that all utilities within the house are
fully functional. Gas, water and electricity channels
should all be open and confirmed to be operating.
Where a house has pilot light, turn them on and confirm
that they are fully working.

4. For pet owners, secure the pet away from the property.
His presence within the compound may act as a
distraction. It is also advisable that you ensure your
agent is well aware of his existence. This way he is able
to guide you on how to progress.

5. An inspector has to be very thorough in his report. This
means that he will turn lights on and off. He will also
seek to determine whether the windows are fully
functional. To avoid receiving a bad report, all burned
out light bulbs must be replaced prior to the inspection
taking place.

6. Smoke detectors and alarm systems play a very crucial
role in providing warning signals. Even though they are
plugged in to the electricity system, they still rely on
batteries in order to operate. Replace all worn out and
dead batteries and at the same time check to make sure
that the carbon monoxide detectors are working.

7. An inspection is not complete without checking the
condition of all existing air conditioning units. When
examining an air conditioning unit, the main focus is on
the filters and the air vents. All filters should be present
and properly secured in place. This is in addition to
making certain that all air vents are clean.

8. In any house, the foundation area will usually require a
lot of attention. At this area, you have to check for the
presence of cracks and other signs of weakness. If
present, immediate repairs have to be commissioned as
soon as possible.

9. Electric panels, water heaters and air conditioning vents
are located in the attic area. All this have to be inspected
and the inspector will therefore require a clear path to
your attic. Remove all unnecessary items present in your
attic and leave a clear path to each item.

10. It will be very important to trim all surrounding bushes
and trees. Trees that are located near a house must be
trimmed and the distance between the two kept at a
distance of at least ten feet. They not only act as the
breeding ground for pests, but they can also make a
property look unkempt.

11. For successful Calgary home inspections, repairs must be
done as well. Broken and missing items such as door
knobs, latches and locks must be taken care of as soon
as possible. Window panes, gutters and chimney caps
tend to fall and break down and must therefore be
replaced.
