Home Inspection in Burnaby

From Metrotown high-rises to Burnaby North post-war bungalows, Burnaby mixes some of the region’s newest towers with homes now passing seventy years old. Each needs a different kind of attention.

What I pay special attention to in Burnaby homes

Condo towers: Burnaby has built thousands of new units in the last two decades. New doesn’t mean flawless — I check workmanship details, ventilation, in-suite plumbing, and window and balcony door installation, and I review what’s visible of the building envelope.

1980s–1990s wood-frame condos and townhouses: buildings from BC’s leaky-condo era deserve extra care. I look for the telltale signs of water penetration around windows, walkways, and balconies, and tell you what questions to ask the strata about past remediation.

Older detached homes: many Burnaby houses from the 1950s–70s have had suites added over the years. I check the fundamentals — roof, drainage, foundation, electrical service — plus the quality of those conversions.

Thermal imaging on every inspection
