Maple Ridge has grown significantly over the past two decades, and that growth means a wide mix of housing ages and construction quality. Newer subdivisions often look polished but carry common new-build problems: undersized HVAC systems, drainage that doesn’t account for sustained rainfall, and construction shortcuts that don’t show up until a few years in. Older homes carry their own decade-specific concerns, from Poly-B plumbing to aging electrical systems.
The area’s proximity to mountain terrain and river drainage also means I pay close attention to grading and foundation conditions. Water has to go somewhere, and in a rain forest climate, where it goes determines how much damage it does.
Every Maple Ridge home inspection covers all 10 major components with full thermal imaging and moisture scanning. Drone roof inspection is available for hard-to-access roofs, and radon scanning is offered as an add-on. Your written report is ready before we walk through the findings in person, so you leave with a complete picture of the property's condition.
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.
