Request this inspection →Understand the service
Clear information before your next step.
Seasonal changes and normal occupancy can reveal issues during the first year. Tarion’s current process includes Initial, Mid-Year, and Year-End forms for applicable homes. This inspection revisits accessible systems and components so you can document observations before the Year-End Form milestone.
What we examine
- Exterior and roofing areas where accessible
- Foundation, structure, and visible movement
- Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and ventilation
- Attic, insulation, and moisture indicators
- Interior finishes and operating components
- Previously reported items that remain observable
What you receive
- A current photo report
- A consolidated list of observations
- Clear explanations of notable conditions
- Useful documentation for your warranty planning
Why it matters
More than a checklist.
A home changes through its first heating, cooling, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles. A first-year review gives owners another structured opportunity to document observable concerns and compare them with earlier records.
Common observations
- Seasonal movement, settlement, or finish changes
- Roof, exterior, drainage, moisture, insulation, and ventilation observations
- Heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical performance concerns
- Items previously reported to the builder that remain visible or unresolved
How to prepare
- Collect your PDI, earlier warranty submissions, and builder repair records.
- Write down seasonal or intermittent concerns before the inspection.
- Book with enough time to review findings before any applicable Tarion deadline.
Useful observations, explained in plain language.
A home inspection is a non-invasive visual assessment of accessible conditions at the time of inspection. It is not destructive testing, an appraisal, a warranty, or a guarantee of future performance. It does not replace engineering, environmental testing, code enforcement, or specialist trade evaluation. When deeper evaluation is appropriate, the report will identify the recommended next step.
Common questions
Before you book.
These answers describe the general service. Property-specific scope, access, timing, and limitations are confirmed when booking.
Will every deficiency be covered?+
Warranty eligibility is determined by the applicable warranty rules and administrator. The inspection documents observable conditions; it does not decide coverage.
Can you recheck earlier items?+
Yes, where those items remain visible and accessible. Bring your earlier documentation so the concerns can be compared.
