Do you inspect flat roofs on Don Mills mid-century homes?
Yes. Low-slope roofs require specific diagnostic assessment. We use drone roof inspections to check EPDM membranes for blistering, ponding water, and perimeter flashing failure.
Are Willowdale infill properties prone to drainage issues?
Absolutely. Massive custom homes frequently alter the historical grading of older lots, creating negative slopes. We utilize moisture detection tools to ensure surface water is not threatening basement walk-outs.
Can you test for buried oil tanks in older North York neighborhoods?
During our exterior home inspections, we actively search for abandoned fill pipes, copper supply lines, and foundation patches that indicate an un-remediated underground fuel storage tank.
Do you evaluate radiant floor heating?
Yes. Custom infills and older boiler-heated properties frequently utilize radiant in-floor loops. We use thermal imaging to verify hydronic flow and identify hidden sub-floor leaks.
Do you inspect mid-century bungalows in Bathurst Manor?
Yes. We rigorously assess 1950s bungalows for common mid-century defects, including ungrounded receptacles, failing block foundations, and inadequate attic ventilation causing chronic ice dams.
Are high-rise condos along the Yonge corridor checked for Kitec?
Yes. Many towers built along Yonge Street in the early 2000s utilized Kitec plumbing. We physically verify exposed under-sink lines during our condo inspections to confirm its presence or absence.
