While on-site, Rene will be following all AHS guidelines, including but not limited to washing hands frequently, wearing PPE, using disinfectant wipes on surfaces he has made contact with (doorknobs, faucets, etc.), he will not be working if he has a fever, cough or other known COVID-19 symptoms.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and adjust any measures as things change. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or require any clarification.

About Rene and Carmen Timmermans

Rene and Carmen Timmermans We have been married for 36 years after dating for a brief 9 months. We have 3 beautiful grown children, two daughters, a son, a daughter-in-law and 2 sons-in-laws and first grandchild arrived in spring of 2017. We lived in Grande Prairie for 25 years. Five years ago we were ready for a change in scenery so we moved to Vancouver Island. We had only been to the island once prior for 4 days. We were on Vancouver Island for 5 years and we absolutely loved it and believe that it is one of the best places in Canada to live! We met many new people and contacts new relationships with the people of Vancouver Island. But, with a family that is growing we felt it was time to come back to our roots. We are looking forward to meeting old friends and making new business and personal relationships.

What We Examine During Home Inspection

Structural Components

Our inspector will look at the foundation of the home looking for cracks, bowing, shifting or anything unusual. We will crawl into attic spaces, when accessible, looking for signs of water condensation or penetration. Walls are examined for leakage or mold. The ceilings, especially around electrical fixtures, must be clear of any signs of water leakage.

Exterior Faults

Close inspection of the exterior may reveal where additional caulking is needed to prevent water seepage. Broken seals on glass, decking and settlement cracks, deteriorating tread steps are just a few of the items that we check that may require professional repair. We even check the garage door is tested whether it’s electronic or manual.

Roofing

The roof is examined closely for loose shingles or tiles, and the flashing is tested for tightness. Tree limbs touching the house provide a passageway for rodents and also can threaten the house. Gutter debris is noted, and all drains are inspected for a tight connection to the house. Skylights and chimneys also are examined for proper sealants.

Heating/Air Conditioning

The entire heating and air conditioning system is tested to verify it’s in working condition, and the appropriate filters are examined. Supply pipes are examined for corrosion. Chimneys must be clear of bird nests, and the chimney frame, whether it’s brick or made of other components, is to be sound.

Plumbing

All visual piping is inspected, including drains, vents and waste systems. Water ingress and egress is examined, water distributors and the sump pump, if present. Drains are examined for signs of leakage or mineral deposits.

Electrical

The electrical components are examined to ensure they fit and are operating safely. Conductors, grounding equipment and distribution panels are inspected for efficient operation.

Insulation/Ventilation

Attic and crawl space insulation and vapor barriers are noted on the inspection report. Venting fans that aren’t working also are included. Under-floor insulation, if accessible through the basement, is also examined for deterioration.

Interiors

Stairways, floors, counters, cabinetry, and the number of windows are included on the inspection report along with notes on any items that don’t function as they should.
