Standard Home Inspection

At Inside Edge, we recognize that a standard home inspection has evolved beyond its traditional role in real estate transactions. It is now a valuable service that can be requested and performed by various individuals involved with the home, including buyers, sellers, existing homeowners, and even tenants. We believe in a comprehensive, whole-home approach to inspections, acknowledging the interconnectedness of building systems.

​With every inspection, we go the extra mile by utilizing a thermal imager at no additional cost. This advanced tool allows us to identify potential issues that may not be visible to the naked eye, ensuring a thorough assessment. Moreover, our inspections are supported by the InterNACHI 90 Day Buyback and $25,000 Honour Guarantees, providing you with added confidence and protection.

Simplified Maintenance Inspection

​​This service offers a streamlined approach to home inspections, focusing on efficiency without compromising quality. Following the InterNACHI Standard of Practice, our inspector will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your entire home. You will receive a concise, one-page on-site checklist that covers all essential aspects of the inspection.

​While the checklist includes minimal photos or additional data, rest assured that our inspection adheres to rigorous standards, ensuring a thorough evaluation.

Walkthrough Consultation

​​At Inside Edge, we understand that sometimes you may have urgent questions or concerns about a specific home system or need a professional opinion quickly. Whether you're in the process of making an offer on a home or facing other pressing issues, we're here to assist you.

While our services in these situations do not replace a comprehensive home inspection, we encourage you to reach out to us. Our experienced inspector is ready to provide prompt assistance and address your immediate needs.

Aerial Photography

​​When faced with a roof that is too tall or deemed unsafe to traverse, we have the solution: a drone! Utilizing cutting-edge technology, we employ a trusty drone to capture detailed aerial views with ultra-high-definition pictures. While our drone is an integral (and FREE!) part of every inspection, we also offer standalone drone services for specific needs.

Imagine capturing breathtaking aerial shots of your property or gaining valuable insights into the condition of your roof. Our drone services provide a unique perspective that allows for a comprehensive assessment from above. Additionally, if you're curious about the neighborhood or want to explore the surroundings, our drone can provide a bird's-eye view of the area.

Sewer Line Inspection

Even a partial sewer blockage can be a nightmare, leading to messy and costly repairs, as well as posing significant and serious health risks. Our sewer scope service is designed to detect potential issues such as collapsed pipes, partial or complete blockages, improper/outdated materials, and other anomalies that could result in disastrous consequences.

It's crucial to remember that as a homeowner, you are responsible for the sewage system on your property, and unfortunately, standard home insurance typically does not cover these repairs. It's also a common misconception that only older properties face sewer problems. In reality, even new homes can encounter issues due to poor design or accidental or intentional debris entering the system. Let us perform a sewer scope to ensure your system is functioning as intended, providing you with peace of mind.

Water Testing Services

Water is an essential element of any home, serving as a vital resource for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and more. However, the quality of the water that flows into your home can greatly impact your family's health and the overall integrity of your property. Prices vary based on the level of service desired so please check our price list or contact us for more information. 

We will take samples, send them off to an accredited lab and interpret the results for you. With Inside Edge, you can trust that your home's water quality is in capable hands and that we will provide you with an easy-to-understand report format.

Radon Testing

Radon is a tasteless, odourless, colorless gas that is a byproduct of Uranium decay and is the second leading cause of lung cancer. While some areas of Nova Scotia are well-known Radon hotspots, the simple fact is that every home has some level of Radon in it and levels vary from day to day, street to street, and even house to house. 

At Inside Edge, we are an IAC2 Certified company and can conduct Radon testing using proper protocols, using either a screening (2-90 day) or a long term (91+ day) test and can advise on whether remediation is recommended based on Health Canada guidelines. 

Mold Testing

You asked, we listened! As an IAC2 Certified company, we have recently added mold testing services in the Spring of 2024. We will collect the sample(s) based upon the chosen method, deliver to the laboratory for analysis and provide you with easy-to-understand information on what this means. There are several options for mold testing so please contact us for more information on this service.
