Information Inspection Standards and General Guidelines This inspection has been performed according to the CSA A 770 Canadian National Standards of Practice. In some cases; we may go above the Standards as a courtesy to the client.

This is a functionality inspection and does not include references to cosmetic items.

Houses are built with the rules and regulations of their construction year. Updating to current standards (code requirements) is not mandatory. This is not a code compliance inspection.

Houses are expected to have some wear and tear a few years after construction. Some of the noted items on the report may be relevant to normal wear and tear.

Life Expectancy of Components Please click on the link below to find more information about the Life Expectancy of the different components of your home: https://inspectionservicesgroup.com/life-expectancy-of-components/

New Construction Home under Tarion Warranty This is a new construction home that has not been lived in yet. Some items may be covered under the different stages of the Tarion Warranty program.

Plumbing fixtures and other components have been tested briefly. These tests do not in any way simulate actual living conditions inside the home. The condition of these components may change when used under normal living conditions.

General Limitations Exterior - Inspection of the exterior may be limited by vegetation, sheds and other personal belongings. We cannot move any of these items and do not have visibility behind these items. We do our best to thoroughly inspect these areas as long as it is safe and we have access.

Garages - Inspection of the garage and its components may be limited by items stored in the garage or parked cars.

Roof - Due to the unpredictable and latent nature of roof leaks, no assurances or warranty can be provided that your roof and flashings will not develop leaks within the approximate expected life span given by the inspector. We caution the home owner that skylights are prone to leaks. Ice damming problems are beyond our ability to predict. Extreme weather conditions such as heavy snow fall, heavy rainfall, freezing rain and ice built up, may cause leaks to any roof and are beyond our ability to predict.

Attic - Some areas in the attic may not be fully accessible or visible, due to low roof line, insulation present, interior skylights, etc. The comments in the report reflect only the visible areas of the attic. Inspection of the attic may be done from the attic hatch, if the inspector deems the area to be unsafe or to prevent potential damages and/or movement of the insulation.

Interiors - Inspection of interior spaces may be limited by furniture, carpets, personal belongings and paintings. The inspector is not required to move any of the above items. A representative number of outlets and windows may be inspected. Any such items that are not accessible cannot be inspected. The inspector does not make reference to cosmetic issues.

Bathroom - Bathrooms can consist of many features from jacuzzi tubs and showers to toilets and bidets. Because of all the plumbing involved it is an important area of the house to look over. Moisture in the air and leaks can cause mildew, wallpaper and paint to peel, and other problems.

The visual access to drain lines and supply pipes underneath the floors and behind walls is restricted. No assurances or warranty can be provided regarding proper drainage conditions or performance. We are unable to predict slow leaks in drains and water lines. Shut Off valves and pipe connections leaks cannot be predicted and may happen at any time.

Structural - This report makes reference to the visible parts of the structure, whether inside or outside the home. We do not have visibility under the ground, behind walls, under floors or any other items that restrict visibility. We do not offer any engineeting services or engineering advice. If the report identifies any major structural issues or if the client is planning to do major renovations, the advice of an engineer should be utilized.

Basement - Full Inspection of the basement may be limited due to furniture or personal items stored. The comments on this report reflect only the visible areas of the basement. A representative number of outlets are tested.

The Inspector does not inspect basement sleeping areas for compliance to local by-laws. Every municipality nay have different by-laws concerning basement apartments. The client is advised to do their due diligence with the local authorities in regards to basement apartment requirements.

Electrical - All electrical work should be carried out by a licensed electrical contractor. The Inspector does not conduct an exhaustive electrical inspection and does not have visibility to electrical systems hidden behind walls. Electrical system deficiencies should be addressed, as some may be of great importance and pose a safety hazard.

HVAC - We are not HVAC professionals. Feel free to hire one prior to closing. The inspection of the heating system is visual, using the standard operating controls and it is not technically exhaustive. Full Inspection of the Heat exchanger is beyond the scope of this inspection and can only be done by a licensed HVAC technician. If any deficiencies are identified in this report in regards to the operation of the heating equipment it is recommended that an HVAC technician is hired before closing, because a technically exhaustive inspection may reveal other issues that require attention.

Main Plumbing System - The visual access to main drain lines underneath the basement floors and behind walls is restricted. No assurances or warranty can be provided regarding proper drainage conditions or performance. Sewer back-up is beyond our ability to detect or predict. The visual access to supply pipes behind walls or under floors is restricted. We are unable to predict slow leaks in drains and water lines. Shut Off valves and pipe connections leaks cannot be predicted and may happen at any time.

Air Surveys - Air quality surveys or observations on the home environment are limited to conditions on the day of the inspection and may vary.

The survey results may be impacted by use of air fresheners, diffusers or other household fragrances and/or the use of cleaning products. If you would like more accurate testing to determine mold spores present in the home environment we recommend booking a complete Indoor Air Quality Test on the property.

Buyer Name

Double Tap observed. Double tapping (i.e. 2 wires on a single pole breaker) can add to the load of the affected circuit causing a possible overload and tripping breakers, or result in loose connections and overheating of the breaker or connections. Some electrical panel manufacturers allow double taps on their breakers, but this is not something we can confirm. Ideally, doubled-up circuits should be independently fused.

Radon: What is Radon?

"Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It is invisible, odourless and tasteless. When radon is released from the ground into the outdoor air, it is diluted and is not a concern. However, in enclosed spaces, like homes, it can accumulate to high levels and become a risk to the health of you and your family. " (Source: Health Canada) When radon is released from the ground into the outdoor air, it is diluted and is not a concern. However, in enclosed spaces, like homes, it can accumulate to high levels and become a risk to the health of you and your family.

Radon: Radon Testing not conducted Radon testing was not conducted at this property. A radon test cannot be done during a short inspection appointment. If your property is located in the Green or Brown areas in the map below, we recommend having a Short Term or Long Term Test done after you move into the house. For information about Radon please visit the Health Canada Website at: https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/hc-sc/migration/hc-sc/ewhsemt/alt_formats/pdf/pubs/radiation/radon_canadians-canadiens/radon_canadians-canadien-eng.pdf

20: CONCLUSION section-ZTY3OTUxYWItYmIxOS00NTg2LWJjMGItMWMxNjMyNzY1YmNh

Information Conclusion GENERAL INFORMATION: We are proud of the service we provide, and trust that you will be happy with the quality of our report. We have made every effort to provide you with an accurate assessment of the condition of the property and its components and to alert you to any significant defects or adverse conditions. However, we may not have tested every outlet, and opened every window and door, or identified every problem. Also, because our inspection is essentially visual, latent defects could exist. We cannot see behind walls. Therefore, you should not regard our inspection as a guarantee or warranty. It is simply a report on the general condition of a property at a given point in time. As a homeowner, you should expect problems to occur. Roofs will leak, basements may have water problems, and systems may fail without warning. We cannot predict future events. For these reasons, you should keep a comprehensive insurance policy current. This report was written exclusively for my client. It is not transferable to other people. The report is only supplemental to a seller's disclosure. Thank you for taking the time to read this report, and call us if you have any questions. We aim always attempting to improve the quality of our service and our report.

PRE-CLOSING WALK THROUGH: The walk-through prior to closing is the time for Client to re-inspect the property. Conditions may change between the time of a home inspection and the time of closing. Restrictions that existed during the inspection may have been removed for the walk-through. Defects or problems that were not present during the home inspection may be discovered during the walk-through. Client should be thorough during the walk-through. Any defect or problem discovered during the walk-through should be negotiated with the owner/seller of the property prior to closing.

Purchasing the property with a known defect or problem releases the Home Inspection Services Group of all responsibility. Client assumes responsibility for all known defects after settlement.

APPLIANCES: Appliances were tested as a courtesy and were in working at the time of the inspection (unless otherwise noted). It cannot be guaranteed that the appliances will be functional at time of possession. It is recommended that the appliances be re-tested prior to possession. Typical Real Estate Contracts provide a 24 HR deficiency reporting clause.

NOTE: If you’re reading this report but did not hire us, the Home Inspection Services Group, to perform the original inspection, please note that our liability is LIMITED to our client. Remember that the cost of a home inspection is insignificant compared to the value of the home. Protect your family and your investment, and please call us directly at 647-614-4474 to discuss the report you’re reading for this property so that we can arrange for a re-inspection.

A SNAPSHOT IN TIME: This report shows the condition of the house, ON THE DAY OF THE INSPECTION. Please note that it is likely that conditions related to the home have probably changed, even if the report is fairly recent. Minor problems noted may have become worse, recent events may have created new issues, and items may even have been corrected and improved. We do not have control of what happens in a home after the inspection date.

Thank you!

Sincerely, Inspection Services Group
