Question 1

What does a home inspection include?

Accepted Answer

A home inspection is a visual assessment of accessible parts of a property within an agreed scope. Depending on the building, this may include the roof, exterior, structure, heating and cooling, plumbing, electrical systems, insulation and interior finishes. Concealed areas and specialist testing are not automatically included.

Question 2

How much does a home inspection cost with ENG Inspections?

Accepted Answer

Home inspections start at $500 + GST. ENG Inspections serves all of British Columbia, and the final fee depends on the property and agreed inspection scope. Share your address and inspection needs for a personalized quote.

Question 3

Do I need a home inspection for a condo or new home?

Accepted Answer

Condo and newly built properties can still have observable concerns. A condo inspection complements, but does not replace, review of strata documents; a new home warranty inspection can help document visible items relevant to warranty discussions.

Question 4

Can thermal imaging find hidden moisture or electrical defects?

Accepted Answer

Thermal imaging identifies temperature differences, which may suggest an area for closer investigation. It does not, by itself, confirm hidden moisture or diagnose electrical faults.

Question 5

Who performs the inspection and explains the report?

Accepted Answer

Nigel Greenidge, the owner and sole inspector of ENG Inspections Inc., performs the inspection. Clients can contact him with questions about the reported findings.

Question 6

Does ENG Inspections serve all of British Columbia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ENG Inspections welcomes home inspection enquiries from across British Columbia, not just the cities listed on this website. Provide the property address, type and timing so Nigel can confirm availability and provide a personalized quote.
