HammerHead Inspection Services
Home inspectors in British Columbia are a dime a dozen and everyone's heard a horror story or two that gives home inspectors a bad reputation... and for good reason. The requirement to get a home inspector's license, at least in our opinion, is set to a bar that's too low. Let's compare to other professions: Licensed Electricians, Plumbers, Carpenters and Auto Mechanics require a 4 year apprenticeship. Comparing that to a home inspector - someone who should have a thorough understanding of all components in a home (structure, foundation, drainage, building envelope, electrical, HVAC, ventilation, roofing, plumbing, energy efficiency, safety etc....) - it only takes 7 weeks. Talk about a false sense of security. The term "licensed" should not be confused with "professional".
