Specialty Home Inspection Services in New Brunswick
Certified add-on services that go beyond the standard inspection, radon testing, thermal imaging, WETT, sewer scope, drone, and 360 virtual tours.
Some homes need more than a visual assessment. Our advanced inspection add-ons use lab-grade testing equipment, infrared cameras, HD sewer cameras, licensed drones, and 360-degree imaging to find the problems no inspector can detect with their eyes alone. Add any service to your home inspection, or book as a standalone appointment.

Why Add Advanced Services to Your Home Inspection?
The most expensive surprises are the ones you cannot see. Technology and lab testing find what a visual inspection alone cannot.
In over 10 years of inspecting homes across New Brunswick, I have found that the costliest problems are invisible. Radon gas is odourless. A cracked sewer line sits three feet underground. Moisture behind a finished wall looks perfectly fine from the outside. Missing insulation in an attic cavity does not announce itself until your first heating bill arrives.
A standard home inspection is thorough, but it is a visual assessment. I check everything I can see and access, roof, attic, structure, exterior, interior, plumbing, electrical, and heating systems. Add-on services go further. They use technology and lab testing to find the problems that no inspector can detect with their eyes alone.
Every add-on service I offer is backed by a professional certification. Radon testing is performed under my C-NRPP certification. Wood-burning appliance inspections are covered by my WETT certification. And every inspection starts with my credentials as a Registered Home Inspector.

Years Experience
I carry all three certifications because I believe every homebuyer deserves access to the full range of testing and technology available. You should not have to hire three different contractors to get a complete picture of a property's condition. One visit, one inspector, one comprehensive report delivered the same day.
Our Inspection Add-Ons
Six certified services to add to your home inspection. Each one targets problems that a visual inspection cannot detect.
Radon Testing
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada. As a C-NRPP certified professional, I deploy a continuous monitor for 48+ hours and compare results against Health Canada's guideline of 200 Bq/m3. High-risk areas include the Kennebecasis Valley and Kings County.
Sewer Scope Inspection
An HD camera inspects the full length of your sewer lateral for root intrusion, cracks, bellied sections, and deteriorating pipe material. A failure can cost $10,000+ to repair. Essential for older homes in Saint John with original clay or Orangeburg pipes. Live camera feed and recorded video included.
Thermal Imaging
A FLIR and Thermal Master infrared camera's reveal hidden moisture intrusion, missing insulation, electrical hot spots, and air leaks invisible to the naked eye. Particularly valuable for waterfront properties along the Kennebecasis and Saint John rivers and heritage homes in Saint John. Annotated thermal images included in your report.
WETT Inspection
A WETT certified evaluation of wood stoves, pellet stoves, fireplaces, and chimneys. I check clearances, chimney condition, hearth pads, creosote levels, and CSA compliance. Most NB insurance companies require this before covering a wood-burning appliance. Essential for rural properties in Hampton and Sussex.
Drone Roof Inspection
Some roofs are too steep, too high, or too fragile to walk safely. A licensed drone captures high-resolution photos and video of the entire roof surface, damaged shingles, flashing failures, gutter damage, and chimney cap deterioration. Ideal for steep Victorian roofs in Saint John and large properties in Rothesay.
360 Virtual Tour
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada. As a C-NRPP certified professional, I deploy a continuous monitor for 48+ hours and compare results against Health Canada's guideline of 200 Bq/m3. High-risk areas include the Kennebecasis Valley and Kings County.

We had a great experience working with Jonathan! He was friendly, professional, and made the inspection process easy to understand. Everything was super thorough, and we felt confident moving forward thanks to all the helpful info he provided. The personal touch really meant a lot. East Coast Home Inspection will definitely be our go-to from now on!

Awesome to walk through with Jonathan through the inspection process, and getting to pick his brain on what he sees and getting an education on where issues were identified, its severity, and recommendations on actions to take. The drone to check the roof was a nice touch too.

Can I add services after I have already booked?

How much do inspection add-ons cost?

Is a WETT inspection required for insurance in New Brunswick?
Most insurance companies in New Brunswick require a WETT inspection before they will provide coverage for a wood-burning appliance. If the home has a wood stove, pellet stove, or fireplace insert, a WETT inspection is strongly recommended and in most cases required.
How long does a sewer scope inspection take?
The camera inspection of the main sewer line typically takes 20 to 40 minutes and is done during the regular inspection visit. You will see the live camera feed during the inspection and receive recorded video with your report.
Can I book a service without a full home inspection?
Yes. Radon testing, WETT inspections, and sewer scopes, drone roof inspections, 360 virtual tours are available as standalone services. Contact us at (506) 651-9461 or visit our pricing page for standalone pricing and availability.
Do add-on services happen on the same day as my home inspection?
Yes. All services are performed during your scheduled inspection visit. There is no need for a separate appointment. Except for a radon test where a pick up is required. Everything is included in a single comprehensive report delivered the same day.
Do I need radon testing if the home has a finished basement?
Radon can accumulate in any home with ground contact, finished or unfinished. Health Canada recommends testing all homes. The Kennebecasis Valley and parts of Kings County are known elevated-risk areas, but high readings can occur anywhere in New Brunswick.
What does a WETT inspection include?
A WETT inspection evaluates installation clearances to combustible materials, chimney liner condition and height, hearth pad size and material, creosote buildup levels, and overall compliance with CSA and building code requirements for wood stoves, pellet stoves, fireplaces, and chimneys.
Do I need a sewer scope for an older home?
A sewer scope is strongly recommended for any home built before 1980, especially in areas like Saint John where original clay or Orangeburg pipes may still be in service. A sewer line failure can cost $10,000 or more to repair, making the inspection a smart investment before purchasing.
