What does a condo inspection cover?

A condo inspection is a highly specialized evaluation focused strictly on the interior boundaries of your unit. We assess electrical panels, plumbing fixtures, specialized high-rise HVAC systems, life safety features, window seals, and balcony enclosures to ensure your personal liability and comfort are protected.


What are the most common issues found during a condo inspection?

Even in high-end developments, our certified inspectors frequently uncover hidden moisture intrusion beneath cabinetry, unsealed plumbing fixtures that risk water damage, electrical distribution panel faults, unsafe non-compliant wiring modifications, and performance defects within high-rise HVAC fan-coil systems.


Do I need an inspection for a newly built pre-construction condo?

Absolutely. New high-rise construction can still have defects resulting from rushed timelines or contractor oversights. We conduct detailed Pre-Delivery Inspections (PDIs) and Tarion 30-Day or 1-Year Warranty assessments to ensure the builder corrects these issues before your coverage expires.


How is a condo inspection different from a residential home inspection?

While a home inspection covers exterior envelopes, roofing, and foundations, a condo inspection strategically isolates the specific systems you are legally responsible for. This ensures you aren't paying for the evaluation of shared building amenities that fall under the condo corporation's purview.


Do you inspect condo fan coil units and heat pumps?

Yes. High-rise HVAC systems are fundamentally different from standard residential furnaces. We test operating controls, thermostat responsiveness, and verify overall heating and cooling output to ensure your unit's core climate system is functioning properly.


Should I get an inspection for an older resale condo?

Yes, it is highly recommended. Older high-rises often feature aging plumbing fixtures, outdated electrical distribution, and worn window hardware that can lead to energy loss or internal leaks. An inspection gives you a clear, predictable roadmap of upcoming maintenance.


Which areas do you serve for condo inspections?

Operating locally to serve you faster, our certified inspectors evaluate high-rise and townhouse developments across York Region & Simcoe County, including Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Newmarket, Aurora, King City, Bradford, and Barrie.
