Chilliwack is where the Lower Mainland starts giving way to more rural and agricultural land, and the properties reflect that. Crawl spaces, oil tanks, well and septic systems, and acreage drainage are all common out here, and they require experience beyond standard home inspection training to assess properly. I’ve worked in environments where grading, earth movement, and site drainage were critical engineering concerns, and that background translates directly to evaluating rural properties.
Chilliwack also sits in the same seismic zone as the rest of the region. Foundation movement from settlement and minor earthquake activity is real here, and it’s something I look for on every inspection, not just the ones where cracks are visible.
Chilliwack home inspections with Pinnacle cover all 10 major components, with thermal imaging and moisture scanning on every job. For rural and acreage properties, I bring extra attention to crawl spaces, drainage, septic indicators, and any signs of buried tanks or environmental concerns. Radon scanning is available as an add-on. Your full written report is complete before we walk through the findings together.
I personally inspect every property. There's no team, no hand-offs, and no quality variance. You get my full attention and my full background on every job.
I've worked in petroleum engineering, electrical safety, civil construction, and concrete. That background helps me catch foundation movement, drainage failures, electrical hazards, and HVAC problems that a standard inspection course doesn't prepare you for.
I have your report ready before we do the walkthrough. We go through findings together, room by room, so you're not reading a report alone at home trying to figure out what's serious and what isn't.
Nickolas Pemble has been serving homebuyers across the Greater Vancouver area, from Hope to West Vancouver, with hands-on expertise built over decades in construction, civil engineering, petroleum engineering, and electrical safety work with BC Hydro.
He personally inspects every property, delivers the full written report the same day, and walks every client through their findings before they leave the house.
Outside of inspections, he works closely with his family, who help keep the business running, and stays connected to the communities he serves across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland.
