Don’t Settle for Standard: Understand the True Value of a Quality Home Inspection in Manitoba.
Buying a home can be the next exciting step in your life, but it can be intimidating, especially if it is your first time. This huge investment carries weight on what your future holds financially. After deciding on the home you love, the next step is to book a Home Inspection. So, how much does it cost, and is it worth the risk to go for the cheapest company?
Specialized Services for Unique Needs:
Septic Inspections: If there is a septic system on the property there should be an inspection done in addition to a regular Home Inspection. Septic systems can get messy if they are not functioning properly. We offer a specialized Septic Inspection where we check the tank, distribution system, drain field, and history of the system.
Well Water Quality Testing: Water quality can change over time. The Manitoba Government recommends that water quality be tested every year, preferably after the spring thaw. It is important that you check the quality of the water in a home you want to purchase, putting in systems such as holding tanks can cost thousands of dollars if the water is no good. Plus, let’s be honest, hauling water is just a hassle you want to be prepared for before buying a home.
Specialized Expertise in Rural Homes: Our Inspectors understand the unique challenges and considerations that come with purchasing a rural property. We offer a Rural Home Inspection, which includes a Home Inspection, Septic Inspection, and Comprehensive Water Quality Test. Additionally, you may add out-buildings, barns, and extra components to the inspection, a value you won’t find elsewhere.

While the price tag might entice you to go for the lowest quote, remember that a home inspection is an investment in securing what is potentially the largest investment in your life thus far. Settling for a bare-bones inspection can leave you exposed to hidden issues, costly repairs, and even safety hazards down the line. Here's why choosing quality over price for your Manitoba Home Inspection is vital.
Expertise Matters:
Ensuring that your inspector is qualified is vital. There are no standards for Home Inspectors in Manitoba, so ensuring that they are well-trained and hold membership to a professional association becomes more important. Just Call Joe Inspections is both ICA & InterNACHI Certified.
Advanced Tools:
Basic visual checks are great but are not enough to detect all potential issues. At Just Call Joe Inspections we utilize tools that other Home Inspectors in Manitoba do not. We use tools like:
Thermal Imaging: We are certified in advanced Thermographic Photography, we have a better knowledge of what to look for with a thermal camera, beyond just pointing and shooting at temperature differences. We specifically use thermographic photography for diagnostic purposes, beyond just Home Inspections.
Sewer Scope: The main sewer line can be an expensive fix for homeowners. We will inspect the sewer line for breaks, sags, roots, etc. up to the city connection. This will ensure you know the condition of the line, potentially preventing a costly repair or replacement.
Carbon Monoxide & Gas Leak Detectors: The safety of you and your
family will always be our number one concern. Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas that can be fatal. Detection of this harmful gas is vital for a safe home. Gas leaks can occur from natural gas lines, propane tanks, appliances, and other sources. It is important to detect gas leaks to prevent fires as well as costly repairs in your new home.
More Than Just a Home Inspection Report:
Communication is key. Our inspectors don’t just inspect the home; they educate homeowners. We firmly believe that when buying a new home, you should truly understand it and all of its components.
We take extra time to walk around the home with you and answer any questions. We walk you through our findings in detail, discussing potential root problems, not just surface issues. We make sure that you fully understand our findings. Our philosophy of open communication empowers you to navigate repairs, negotiations, and future maintenance with confidence.
Investing in Your Investment and Your Peace of Mind:
While you can get a Home Inspection for as little as $400 in Manitoba, you need to think about what you are sacrificing at that cost. Home Inspections can cost between $400 and $1000, it is important to ensure your inspection is comprehensive enough for the home that you are buying.
Remember, this is an investment in your future, not just an expense. It's about ensuring the safety, comfort, and financial security of your new home.
