Active leaks, gas smell, and animal-in-flue jump the queue over cosmetic inspection work. We text realistic ETAs, not "we'll get to it."
Common questions
How long does inspection take in Clarington?
45–60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Clarington?
Yes. Condo boards in Clarington typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How much does inspection cost in Clarington?
Most Clarington jobs land between $170 and $272. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $442. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Is inspection covered by home insurance in Clarington?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
What warranty do you offer on inspection in Clarington?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
Do you offer same-day inspection in Clarington?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Clarington for most standard scopes.
