A home inspection is one of the last opportunities to evaluate a property before closing. While
buyers often notice cosmetic features during a showing, the inspection focuses on the home’s
major systems and structural components so there is a better understanding of its overall
condition.
Dru Gordon has performed many home inspections throughout Ottawa and the surrounding
communities. His inspections are designed to provide buyers with clear, objective information
about the home and identify visible conditions that may affect its safety, function, or long-term
performance.
Detailed Evaluation of the Home
During an Ottawa home inspection, the home’s major systems and structural components are
carefully evaluated. This includes the roof, attic, foundation, structure, electrical system,
plumbing system, heating and cooling equipment, and the exterior condition of the property.
Areas such as crawlspaces, basements, and attic spaces are also carefully inspected if
accessible, as these locations often provide valuable information about moisture conditions,
ventilation, insulation, structural movement, and the overall performance of the home.
The purpose of the inspection is to document the visible condition of these components and
identify deficiencies that may require repair, maintenance, or additional evaluation.
Providing Clear Information for Buyers
The inspection is intended to provide buyers with the information they need to make informed
decisions before purchasing a home.
After the inspection is complete, Dru reviews the major findings with the client, answers
questions, and explains the significance of the observations. Inspection reports are typically
delivered within a few hours so buyers can review the information while the inspection is still
fresh. Additional services such as sewer scope inspections, radon testing, and mold testing are
always recommended to provide a more complete evaluation.
