Fort Saskatchewan is a community I know well from my inspections there, and it’s one where I’ve learned to look extra carefully. The local permitting process has historically been more relaxed than elsewhere in the Edmonton metro area, and the result is that new builds in Fort Saskatchewan sometimes have items missing or corners cut that a stricter review process would have caught.
That’s not a knock on Fort Saskatchewan as a place to live. It’s a reason to make sure your inspector knows what to look for and doesn’t assume a new build is problem-free.
I cover Fort Saskatchewan with the same rigorous process, including thermal imaging, drone 4K roof photography, and same-day reports. For new builds especially, I check for the compliance gaps that looser permitting oversight can leave behind.
I’ve inspected homes across Edmonton and every surrounding community for 15+ years. I know which neighbourhoods have groundwater issues, which building eras carry the biggest risks, and what Edmonton’s climate does to a home over time. That’s knowledge you can’t get from a generic inspection company.
Your inspection report lands in your inbox the same day, written in plain language with no jargon and no filler. At 14-15 pages, it covers what matters without burying you in paper. If you have questions, I’m available by phone to walk through it with you page by page.
Every inspection includes a thermal imaging camera scan and drone 4K photography of the roof. These tools have caught in-floor pipe leaks hidden in concrete, heat loss behind walls, and roof damage that no ground-level inspection would have found.
