10/10

We had Jamie from Access Home Inspection Services come out and complete an inspection on our new home as per our purchase agreement conditions. He was very thorough and punctual. We had an 9am appointment, which we arrived to on time, only to find out that Jamie had already been there for 1 hour already assessing the exterior of the home. He was able to walk us through the exterior of the home right away when we had arrived and then continued on to inspect the interior of the home. He was more than willing for us, the realtor and my dad to all tail him throughout the entire house while he inspected everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. He explained things as we went along and was even open to questions we had. Jamie was knowledgeable on whether or not permits were required for certain things we wanting the change (removing the eaves that were plumbed into the sewer drain). He even pointed out work that was done in the home without permit(s). Jamie came equipped with an arsenal of tools including a device that plugs into an outlet to see if the outlet has electricity, a sensor that he used to touch wires to see if they were live, a sensor to detect the level of moisture behind walls/tiles, a 200ft camera snake to inspect the sewer line (that also records video), and I'm sure much more. Once the inspection was completed, we waited, in the home, approximately 30-40 minutes at most while he put the finishing touches on the report. Once the report was drafted, he reviewed the format of the inspection with us and advised us what aspects he thought we should make sure to repair to first to ensure our new home was protected. To top it off, he gave us a 4GB USB flash drive that has an electronic PDF copy of the inspection as well as the video footage from the sewer line. The regular cost for the inspection is $435 however we paid the extra $200 to have the sewer line inspected. We are glad that we did because the sewer line has been updated from the clay/cement pipe line (NOT GOOD) to an ABS line (MUCH BETTER) all the way to the end of the property line. It has helped us sleep better at night knowing that the home we have purchased has what it has. Jamie also accepts e-Transfers which was super convenient for us to use. I highly recommend Access Home Inspection Services.
