Services
Pre-purchase Inspection
Our pre-purchase inspections provide comprehensive assessments of property conditions before real estate transactions. We examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and major appliances while using infrared technology to detect hidden moisture issues. Clients receive detailed reports with categorized deficiencies and photographic documentation within 24 hours to support informed buying decisions.
Pre-listing Inspection
Pre-listing inspections help homeowners identify and address potential issues before marketing their property. Our certified inspectors evaluate all major systems and components, providing sellers with detailed reports to facilitate pricing decisions and minimize liability. This proactive approach helps prevent conditional offers and streamlines the selling process for Edmonton homeowners.
Condo Inspection
Our condo inspections focus on interior systems of high-rise and low-rise units including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural components. While limited to interior spaces, our reports provide valuable insights about unit condition to prospective buyers. We encourage client participation during inspections and deliver comprehensive reports within 24 hours for informed purchasing decisions.
New Home Warranty Inspection
We conduct new home warranty inspections 1-2 months before warranty expiration to identify construction defects. Our detailed reports document occupancy-related concerns and inspection findings with photographic evidence, helping homeowners address issues with builders. Reports include categorized deficiencies and a homeowners manual to maintain property value.
Infrared Inspection
Certified thermographers use thermal imaging to detect heat loss and air leakage in homes. This technology identifies insulation deficiencies and moisture intrusion points during winter months when temperature differentials are significant. Our reports include infrared images to guide energy efficiency improvements while maintaining non-invasive diagnostic capabilities.

Report
Prior to purchasing a condo, I hired Alberta Property Inspection Ltd. to inspect the unit. Chris Bottriell was the Inspector who took me through the condo. The first thing I noticed was that he was early for our appointment, well groomed, and had quite a bit of equipment with him for this inspection. The inspection took a good 2.5 hours to complete, and I must say, I learned a tremendous amount about the building, which was very valuable. Chris was very, very thorough with his inspection, and explained everything that he was doing, as we went along. Even though I had a lot of questions, he was

We could not have chosen a better company to do our inspection with. Chris went through everything thoroughly. He was knowledgeable answered every question we had and educated us on what everything was in our new home. The take away folder he gave us with recall information and DIY information was fantastic. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You will not be disappointed.

Chris is very professional, thorough and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every step in the home inspection and patiently answered all of our questions. Our report was ready the morning after the inspection, complete with pictures to support the assessment of the home. Lorayne efficiently scheduled our inspection and helped make the process seamless. I would highly recommend Alberta Property Inspection.
