🏠 **When was the last time someone took a professional look at your home—not because you were buying or selling it, but simply to see what maintenance it needs?**

Homes change over time. Weather, moisture, aging materials, normal wear, and deferred maintenance can all create conditions that are easy to overlook during everyday life.

Assure Property Solutions Inc. offers **Annual Building Maintenance Inspections** to help homeowners identify visible concerns early and make better decisions about what should be repaired, monitored, or maintained.

With fall approaching, now is a practical time to look at your property before rain, colder temperatures, and winter conditions arrive.

An annual inspection can help you:
✅ Catch visible maintenance concerns earlier
✅ Prioritize repairs
✅ Plan future maintenance costs
✅ Monitor areas that may be changing over time
✅ Better understand the condition of your home

You don’t need to wait until you are buying or selling to have your home professionally inspected.

📍 Serving Lake Country, Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Kamloops, and surrounding communities.

Planning a renovation? Find out about asbestos before the first cut.

Removing old flooring, opening a wall, taking down a textured ceiling — these are the moments when asbestos becomes a problem. Not while it sits undisturbed, but the second a saw, sander, or pry bar goes into it.

Asbestos was used widely in British Columbia building materials for decades, and it shows up in more places than most homeowners expect: drywall joint compound, textured "popcorn" ceilings, vinyl flooring and the mastic under it, pipe and attic insulation, roofing, and siding. Once those materials are broken up, microscopic fibres go airborne — and they don't settle quickly.

Assure Property Solutions provides asbestos surveys, sampling, lab testing coordination, and written reporting for homeowners, contractors, and property managers. You get a clear answer on what's there and what isn't, before anyone starts work.

If your project involves cutting, sanding, demolition, or removal in an older home, test first. It's a small step at the front of a renovation that prevents a very expensive one in the middle of it.

This has been a hard few weeks in the valley. Fires above Fintry, Peachland and Summerland, thousands of people out of their homes, and smoke sitting over Kelowna, Vernon and Kamloops with no real break in sight.

If you've been let back into your house and the smoke smell is still in it — that's not your imagination and it's not going to fade on its own. Smoke particles work into drywall, carpet, furniture, bedding, clothing and ductwork. Scrubbing and open windows help a little. They usually don't finish the job.

What we do is professional-strength ozone treatment. Your home is sealed and treated while nobody is inside, then fully aerated before you come back. Ozone breaks down the odour compounds in the materials themselves rather than covering them up.

I want to be clear about one thing, because there's a lot of bad information out there: ozone is not an air purifier and you should never run one in an occupied space. Health Canada advises against ozone generators in homes for exactly that reason. For the air you're breathing right now while fires are burning, a HEPA filter and closed windows are the answer. Ozone is for after — for the smell that's left behind in the building.

We work throughout the Okanagan and Interior, and we travel. Homes, businesses, hotels, rentals, RVs, boats and vehicles.

Stay safe out there. When you're ready to deal with it, give us a call.
