Pre-Listing (Sellers) Inspection
If you’re planning to sell your home, a pre-listing inspection gives you the chance to tackle any concerns ahead of time. You’ll know exactly where your home stands, and sharing a professional report with buyers can boost confidence, speed up the sale, and even help with your asking price. It’s a great way to avoid last-minute surprises during closing.
Why Get A Pre-Listing Inspection
Identify Issues & Make Repairs Early
A pre-listing inspection allows you to uncover potential defects before your home hits the market. Addressing repairs ahead of time can help your home show better, reduce buyer objections, and support a smoother sale. Sellers can also choose to disclose any known issues up front, creating transparency and trust with potential buyers.
Use it as a Pricing Tool
A professional inspection report is a valuable resource when determining your listing price. If any depreciation or repair items are found, you can factor them into your pricing strategy early helping you avoid surprises later in the selling process.
Increase Buyer Confidence
Providing buyers with a clean, professional inspection report can make your property more appealing. When buyers know there are no major issues hiding behind the walls, they’re often more comfortable making strong, timely offers. A pre-listing inspection helps buyers understand the home’s condition and feel confident about their investment.

Buyers Inspection
Finding the right home can feel stressful and uncertain. A professional inspection helps reduce your risk by identifying potential repairs and outlining appropriate time frames. Understanding the condition of the building and property allows you to make a confident, informed investment decision.
New Construction (Phase) Inspection
A new construction or phase inspection helps you stay confident throughout your build. Even brand-new homes can have defects—whether from rushed timelines, oversight, or workmanship issues.
With many moving parts and multiple people involved, it’s easy for small issues to go unnoticed. A New Home Inspection highlights items that may need improvement so you can address them early and enjoy your new home with fewer surprises.
Home Maintenance Inspection
East Coast Home Inspection Ltd delivers independent, detailed, and cost-effective Home Maintenance and Safety Inspections.
With the demands of everyday life, keeping up with home maintenance can be challenging. Many homeowners rely on a “fix it when it breaks” approach, which can lead to unnecessary stress and expense. Our maintenance inspections provide a clear picture of your home’s condition, helping you plan repairs proactively.
A Maintenance and Safety Inspection from East Coast Home Inspection Ltd will review all areas of your home, which are related to proper maintenance and repair. The inspection will review the following areas:
-
Roofing and Attic
-
Foundation, Basement, and Crawlspace
-
Plumbing System

Electrical System
-
Heating/Cooling Systems
-
Garage
-
Interior Spaces
A complete, detailed report will be generated for you that will outline:

Immediate Repairs – highlight items needing immediate repair.
-
Maintenance Reminders – outline items that are in need of maintenance or will need maintenance in the next year.
-
Monitoring Needed – indicate reminders for items that should be monitored and checked periodically.
-
Safety Items – highlight any unsafe conditions or items affecting occupant safety.
Radon Inspection
The only way to know your home’s radon level is to test it. Health Canada advises all homeowners to test, as radon has been found in homes nationwide. Radon forms naturally from the breakdown of uranium in the ground and can enter your home through small cracks or openings in the foundation. Once inside, it can build up to unsafe levels.
Understanding Radon in Your Home
Your home can trap radon indoors, and in some cases, radon can also enter through well water. If testing reveals elevated radon levels, effective mitigation options are available, even very high levels can be reduced to acceptable levels with the right corrective measures.
Any home can have elevated radon, regardless of age, construction style, insulation level, or whether it has a basement. Because people spend most of their time at home, this is where the highest exposure typically occurs. Nearly 1 in 15 homes in Canada is estimated to have elevated radon levels, and elevated results have been found in homes throughout New Brunswick.

Multi-Unit Inspection
How We Inspect Multi-Unit and Larger Buildings
We provide professional radon testing using industry-leading equipment and certified testing protocols.
Buildings with up to four units are inspected much like a single-family home. Every accessible component—inside and out—is evaluated with the same level of detail and thoroughness as our standard home inspections.
For larger buildings or complexes, we use a strategic “need-to-know” inspection approach. This method lowers the overall cost while still providing clients with the essential information needed to make an informed decision.
Instead of inspecting every unit individually, which can be costly and time-consuming, we focus on a detailed assessment of the building’s major systems and structural components.
This includes:
-
Full exterior review (roof, siding, drainage, foundation)
-
Common areas and mechanical systems
-
An evaluation of each interior unit or a representative number when requested.
Typically, 10–20% of units are selected for thorough interior inspection. We sample a mix of units, ground level, mid-level, and top floors to get accurate insight into issues such as structural movement, plumbing performance, and potential roof or building envelope leaks.
The results from the sampled units, combined with our exterior and common-area findings, allow us to reliably extrapolate the overall condition of the property and identify patterns or concerns affecting the entire building.
This method is efficient, cost-effective, and widely used in the inspection of larger multi-unit buildings.

WETT Inspection
Understanding WETT Inspections
If your home has a wood burning system or you’re planning to buy a home that does, your insurance company may request a WETT Inspection. WETT stands for Wood Energy Technology Transfer, and WETT Inc. is the national organization that promotes the safe installation and use of wood burning systems across Canada.
A WETT inspection ensures the wood burning system is installed correctly, maintained properly, and operating as safely as possible.
What Type of WETT Inspection Do We Provide?
We perform a Site Basic Visual Inspection, which is the most commonly requested level of inspection by insurance providers. This inspection involves a general, non-invasive review of all readily accessible components to determine whether the system meets current installation and safety guidelines.
As a WETT-certified SITE Basic Inspector, we are qualified to complete this inspection for you and provide the documentation your insurance company requires.
Our WETT Inspections can be carried out either as part of your home inspection or as a stand-alone inspection.
We inspect:
-
Wood Stoves
-
Pellet Stoves
-
Woof Fired Factory Built Fireplaces
-
Wood Fired Fireplaces
-
Wood Fired Furnaces
-
and other solid-fuel burning appliances
Our WETT Inspection is a report on the technical evaluation of your systems and its code compliance. It is also presented in a PDF format that includes:
-
An inspection checklist
-
Photographs
-
Comments
-
Site observations
When delivered to you, our report is ready to present to your insurance company alongside a letter stating whether the appliance is or is not code compliant – if it is not, then we explain the reasons why with recommendations, notes to bring the appliance up to code.
Pool and Spa Inspection
What Does a Pool & Spa Inspection Cover?
Our Pool & Spa Inspection provides a visible, non-invasive review of the accessible components to help identify obvious deficiencies or safety concerns.
This includes:
-
Leaking or noisy pumps
-
Visible plumbing issues such as broken or damaged pipes
-
Chipped, cracked, or deteriorated pool decks and surrounding surfaces
-
General condition of accessible equipment and components
This is a visual inspection only. It does not include leak detection, pressure or temperature testing, or evaluation of water chemistry or chemical balance.
As a courtesy to our clients, this service is included at no additional cost when requested as part of your home inspection.
Because modern pools and spas are far more complex and sophisticated than in the past, it is strongly recommended that homeowners consult a qualified pool service company for ongoing maintenance or a full operational overview. A professional pool contractor can provide a comprehensive inspection that goes beyond the scope of a visual home inspection, including:
-
Leak detection and advanced diagnostics
-
Testing of pumps, filters, and circulation systems
-
Measuring pressures, flow rates, and equipment performance
-
Evaluating overall water condition and chemical balance
Many pool service companies also offer maintenance packages or discounted inspection services as part of their service contracts.
This type of professional evaluation helps ensure your pool is operating safely, efficiently, and as intended.
Drone Services
Drone Technology in Home Inspections
Drones have become an essential tool in today’s home inspections, helping us safely access and evaluate areas that are difficult—or impossible—to reach from the ground. Using drone technology, we can closely examine components such as:
-
Roof surfaces
-
Chimneys
-
Gutters and drainage systems
-
Upper exterior cladding
-
Other hard-to-reach or unsafe areas
What do Drones Capture
Drones also allow us to capture aerial perspectives of the property, which support landscape and grading assessments, help visualize property boundaries, and provide high-quality photos and video for inspection reports or real estate use.
By incorporating drone technology, we’re able to deliver a more complete, efficient, and detailed inspection—while maintaining safe inspection practices.
Drone imaging is used selectively during inspections to provide enhanced access and detail where needed. It can also be booked as a standalone service or added to any specialized inspection.

For Realtors
Sewer Scope Inspection
A sewer scope inspection is a non-invasive video inspection of the underground waste pipe that carries wastewater from the home to the street or septic system.
A flexible camera is inserted into the clean-out or another accessible drain line and guided through the pipe. The inspector views live video of the interior of the pipe and looks for:
-
Cracks, breaks, or collapsed sections
-
Tree root intrusion
-
Standing water or “bellies” in the line
-
Blockages and debris
-
Corrosion, deterioration, or separated joints
-
Evidence of past repairs or patchwork
The inspection is documented with video and observations so buyers, sellers, and homeowners can make informed decisions.
