FAQs
What is a home inspector looking for?
A professional home inspector evaluates the overall condition of a property’s major systems and components. This includes the roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, attic, basement, and visible interior and exterior elements.
At Emerald Property Inspections, we look for safety concerns, structural issues, water damage, improper installations, aging systems, and signs of potential future problems.
How much is a home inspection?
The cost of a home inspection typically ranges from $400 to $700+, depending on the size, age, and type of property. Larger homes, older properties, and additional services like sewer scope or thermal imaging may affect pricing.
How long do home inspections take?
Most home inspections take 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. Larger or older homes may require more time to thoroughly assess.
We never rush inspections. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive, detailed evaluation so nothing important is overlooked.
What are some red flags for home inspectors?
Some common red flags include:
- Foundation cracks or structural movement
- Water damage or signs of moisture intrusion
- Mold growth or poor ventilation
- Outdated or unsafe electrical panels
- Roof damage or aging shingles
- Plumbing leaks or Poly-B piping
- HVAC systems nearing end-of-life
Identifying these early can save buyers thousands in unexpected repairs.
Should I get a home inspection on a new build?
Yes. Even newly constructed homes can have deficiencies. A new home inspection helps ensure the builder’s work meets proper standards and that no issues were overlooked during construction.
Can I attend the home inspection?
Absolutely. We encourage buyers to attend the inspection. It allows you to ask questions, understand the home’s systems, and gain valuable maintenance insights.
Is a home inspection required in Alberta?
Home inspections are not legally required in Alberta, but they are strongly recommended. A professional inspection protects buyers by identifying hidden issues before finalizing the purchase.

Saturday mornings inspection with @trishazimmerling was an opportunity for a bring your kids to work day. Mara and Wesley chilled out and as best we can tell have decided they’re besties #realestate #homeinspections #twoinspectorsoneveryhomeinspection #yeg #dadlife #momlife
It’s that time of year - hoody and shorts for me (or in @ryan_watson_yeg case - jeans and hoody - he gives up far too quickly on summer lol). Chilly in the mornings, hot in the afternoon and chilly in again in the evenings! That’s Alberta in September. Another busy day with thanks to @brian_cyr_remax, @stacey_sellsyeg, @brianna_elevate_realty, @remaxstalbert, @remaxrivercity, @elevaterealtyyeg. #twoinspectorsoneveryhomeinspection #fallweather #whattowear

Mara Rae O’Sullivan has joined the world. She’s feisty and has already laid down the law as to who is boss! Mom and baby are doing excellent and we should all be home today. Our dogs reaction to Mara’s arrival home should be fun! Proud family (including delighted grandparents) back in Ireland who can’t wait to meet her!
Sometimes timing is everything!
If you complete a pre-inspection before listing it can lead to a quicker sale because you can inform the buyer of any issues upfront.

What is the importance of a pre-purchase home inspection?
Overall, it comes down to understanding the true value and condition of the home. This presents any problems the house has to be brought up to new homeowners before the sale closes.
