Purchasing a home is likely the single biggest investment you will make. Entering into this decision without sufficient information can lead to expensive surprises down the road. Properly investigating a home is the surest way to know what you are buying before it is too late. Canadian INvironmental Services consultants go above and beyond a typical home inspection. In fact, half of all inspections we perform uncover a serious problem that the regular home inspector overlooked. Our specialized equipment allows us to investigate hidden areas, searching for water damage, saturated materials and mould growth.

If you are considering purchasing a home, CIS recommends you to Protect Yourself with a Pre-purchase Home Inspection. Our Inspections Include the Following Elements:
- Moisture meter testing around plumbing, toilets, showers, etc.
- Humidity testing
- Visual inspection of the entire home including attic and crawlspace
- Air quality analysis, testing specifically for mould spores
- Carpet sampling, testing for pet dander, dust mites and mould spores
- Determination of the source of mould growth
- Protocol for remediating a mould problem if one is found
Most inspectors merely observe the mould growth. We take the extra step and find the source of the problem. More than being simply unsightly, mould growth is an indication of damp conditions in the home. Even after treatment of the mould itself, if the underlying problem is not corrected the mould will likely return.
