Inspec Homes Home Inspector Kanata- Corey Hewitt

Attic black mold on this Greely home inspection. Excessive heat loss into the attic will cause condensation resulting in moisture issues such as mold. Here an insufficiently insulated chimney is the likely culprit.

Reach out with any home questions, I'm here to help.

It was great to reunite one of my favourite agents for an Ottawa South home inspection. Welcome back from the sunny states

Not just home inspections. Get piece of mind with a condo inspection if you are purchasing in Ottawa.

Can you egress?? Egress is a fancy word for exit or escape and for home purposes refers to basement window sizing. This 7 year old Kanata home has an unfinished basement with window panes/panels about 12-13" wide. These are fi e and appropriate for living space.

However, if the new home owner decides to finish the basement with a bedroom these windows as is do not provide sufficient egress. A basement bedroom must have a window and it must have building code dimensions including each dimensions greater than 15" as well as a specific total area. An option here could be to install a window that opens to the full window space. Either a single panel or 2 removable slides.

A home inspection can include planning questions like this that help you make the best decisions.
