Built in the 1880s. Still draining.

I was in an 1880s home in Saint John's Old North End last week. Dirt-floor cellar, stone walls, the smell of a hundred years of damp. The cast-iron stack ran straight up through it, and at one of the hub joints there was a slow weep. A rust-coloured stain trailing down the pipe, the kind you only see if you put your light on it at the right angle.

Still doing its job. Until the day it isn't.

What is the oldest piece of plumbing you have ever seen still in service?

Another smooth inspection with . Professional, prepared, and always puts his clients first. And when the attic hatch was just out of reach, he didn't hesitate, Andrew gave me the boost I needed 😊. That's the kind of realtor who makes the whole day run smoother.

Do you need a home inspection on a brand new home? Yes. Here is why.

Last week I inspected a new build in Southern New Brunswick for a young couple closing in two days. The finish work wasn't complete. The grading wasn't done. Three stair landings had raised first steps. And a toilet was literally against the wall.

New construction is not automatically well-built construction. I have been inside over 2,000 homes since 2010 and some of the most important conversations I have had with buyers happened in brand new ones.

I put together a full blog post covering the real story, the building code changes in New Brunswick, what the Atlantic Home Warranty actually covers (and what it doesn't), and a 7-point checklist before you close.

Recently Inspected | West Saint John

Home inspection complete in West Saint John, overlooking the Bay of Fundy.

This one included a drone roof assessment as part of the inspection package. On a multi-level roofline like this, the drone gives me a close-up view of the shingles, flashing, and drainage that I can't safely get from a ladder. Every photo goes directly into the report so you can see exactly what I see.

If you're buying in West Saint John or anywhere across Southern New Brunswick, I'm here when you need me.

A parent called me after the inspection. Not the buyer. The dad.

I'd inspected a home for a young first time buyer. Their dad came along, didn't say much, just watched. As dads do. Asked a couple quiet questions.

A few days after the report went out, he called. He said: "I just wanted to thank you. They're making this big decision and it's hard to step back. Knowing you were thorough and let us tag along with you, that really helped."

That call stuck with me. Because after 2,000+ inspections, that's really what this job is. It's not about finding every nail out of place. It's about making sure someone you can trust has looked at the whole picture before you sign.

If it doesn’t kill your deal, a home inspection can save you tens of thousands of dollars if you can use deficiencies to negotiate a lower price with the seller, or avoid a money pit altogether

An ABC type fire extinguisher should be kept in your kitchen, laundry, workshop, garage, and the top of the basement stairwell (at least one on each level of your home).
