Calgary Home Inspector enjoying his NEW view while performing a roof inspection at a home in the NE Calgary. Is it a billboard or truck? Well, I guess it's both, however believe it or not my inspection reports are better looking than my truck! I couldn't help but take a picture whilst on a roof inspecting yesterday. Does your home inspector still get on roofs?

New post (Undisclosed Wood Basement found during Home Inspection) has been published on PRYDE BUILT HOME INSPECTIONS 403.875.2344

During a Calgary Home Inspection the home buyer was surprised I described the basement as WOOD. As it was listed as a concrete foundation, and appeared like a concrete foundation with full parging, and a completely finished basement. There was zero foundation visible to confirm one way or another. How did Pryde Built Home Inspections know it was wood? 1. When sounding from the exterior, it portrayed as hollow. (This can't confirm it was made of wood, as it could have been studded and sheathed on top of a concrete foundation, but, definitely got my spidey senses tingling. 2.
