Cascadia Inspection Engineering Corp. is based in Vancouver BC Canada, and provides Home Inspection and Property Inspection services throughout the Metro Vancouver (Lower Mainland) area.  Email or call today for a quote and to schedule your inspection.

To get a quote for your inspection, some information specific to your chosen property is needed, and you should email the following to CIEC as soon in the process as possible:

• For a condo, just the MLS number is usually sufficient.
• For a detached home, the one-page "RED Full Realtor", or for a townhome, the one-page "REA Full Realtor", will be required.  Ask your Realtor for that document, as only Realtors have access to that part of the MLS information. This must be the NON-mobile version of this document; the mobile version does not have enough information, and is not formatted well for CIEC's use. The "REx Full Public" versions of those 2 MLS documents also work, but the "Full Realtor" versions are preferred.
• For commercial properties, email to CIEC all pertinent documents; the more information about the configuration and history of the property the better.

CIEC stands behind its quotes once the required information has been submitted, and "ballpark" or approximate pricing is not provided.

Once you have decided to proceed with the inspection, some additional information will be required; the list of requested information will be noted toward the bottom of the quotation email that will be sent to you.

Terry underwent his Level 1 Thermography training from ITC in 2015, and has been using it to good affect ever since.  Thermographic inspection services are offered as an add-on to a regular residential inspection, where the results are included in the inspection report.  These services are also offered as a stand-alone inspection.  Using an infrared imager under the right conditions, it is possible for a knowledgeable thermographer to detect electrical, heating, moisture, building insulation, and air leakage issues that would otherwise go undetected during even the most rigorous visual-only inspection.

Hours of telephone availability are generally from 8:00 AM to 9:30 PM weekdays, 9:00 AM to 9:30 PM on weekends, and voicemails can be left outside of those hours. Emails can obviously be sent at any time, and may be responded to even outside of these stated business hours.

Cash, cheque, interac email transfer, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express accepted. However, during this COVID-19 pandemic, interac email and credit card payments are the much preferred options.

For all pre-purchase residential inspections, Cascadia Inspection Engineering Corp follows the HIABC Scope of Inspection 2016, available for viewing or download at this page of the HIABC web site.
