COMMERCIAL BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES

Helping You Understand Your Business Is Our Business.

An AmeriSpec commercial building inspection will give you the answers you need about your property. A single walk-through is all it takes for our trained commercial property inspectors to survey the building, review appropriate documentation, and conduct interviews, if needed, in order to determine the property’s condition and give you peace of mind you need.

The American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) has published a standard guide to performing Property Condition Assessments (PCA). Our inspectors have been trained on the ASTM E2018 standard and use it as a baseline to perform PCAs of commercial buildings. We can work with clients to determine the scope of the inspection depending on their requirements and the age, occupancy, and type of building. This includes anything from performing a general visual examination of the property to a comprehensive inspection of all technical components of the building using a team of specialists.

In addition to information and photographs, the AmeriSpec report provides recommendations for remedying major deficiencies, updating ageing major components, and undertaking further detailed investigation, if required, and the timing associated with those recommendations. Depending on the type of inspection chosen, our inspectors can also include in the report approximate costs for items requiring attention in the short, medium, and long term.

RADON TESTING SERVICES

Is This Dangerous Gas Lurking In Your Home?

Radon is a gas that occurs naturally outdoors in harmless amounts. It’s produced from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rocks. It sometimes gets concentrated in homes built on soil with natural uranium deposits. It can enter buildings through cracks in floors or walls, construction joints, or gaps in foundations around pipes, wires or pumps. Radon levels are usually highest in the basement or crawl space. The presence of radon in the home is a serious risk to the health of you and your family.

When radon gas is breathed into the lungs the person is exposed to small amounts of radiation. This radiation may damage the cells in the lining of the lungs and increase a person’s risk of lung cancer. Exposure to the combination of radon gas and cigarette smoke creates a greater risk for lung cancer than either factor alone.

If you think your home is at risk of contamination contact AmeriSpec for a radon test.

Book an appointment to have an AmeriSpec radon test today.

AIR QUALITY TESTING SERVICES

Breathe Easy With An Amerispec Healthy Home Inspection

Protecting yourself and your family from harmful contaminants in your home is very important. Poor indoor air quality can have profound negative effects on your health and the health of your family. It can affect your productivity and the enjoyment of your home. Take the first step toward a healthy home by calling the AmeriSpec about a Healthy Home Inspection. Our healthy home inspection will take a close look at your home’s air quality and suggest ways to help reduce allergies, respiratory ailments, eye irritation and asthma symptoms.

Why choose Healthy Homes by AmeriSpec?

  • Professional residential indoor air quality testing (IAQ) and indoor environmental assessment
  • Industry leaders in home inspection services for over 30 years
  • Reliable and experienced technicians
  • Leading edge technology and processes

Air testing involves taking a sample of the air in your home and analyzing it in a specialized laboratory. Some institutions may require an air test to detect the threat of mould. Air quality testing is also performed after decontamination too. This ensures that contractor work has been performed correctly.

Asbestos Home Inspection Service

Have Your Home Tested For Asbestos Today

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once commonplace in building material, specifically asbestos insulation. Homes built before 1990 often contain asbestos. While Canada has now banned the use of asbestos, many homes and buildings still have traces. When asbestos fibres are released into the air, they are an immediate health risk to you and your family.

Before you begin any renovations, remodelling or demolition, you should talk to the professionals at AmeriSpec about our asbestos inspection service. Reduce the risk of asbestos exposure by booking an appointment with one of our qualified specialists.

The Three Main Types Of Asbestos

Chrysotile

Also called white asbestos, this is the most common form. Often contaminated with tremolite, it is extremely hazardous. Chrysotile asbestos is commonly found in asphalt, roofing materials and textiles.

Amosite

Referred to as brown asbestos, amosite is commonly used in cement, insulation, tiles and roofing.

Tremolite

Tremolite is responsible for many asbestos-related illnesses with colours ranging from white to dark green. This type of asbestos is commonly found in paint, plumbing materials, insulation and roofing.

The Dangers Of DIY Asbestos Removal

Given the dangers involved, asbestos removal is not a do-it-yourself project. In short, not every home has asbestos. However, if you do come across it, do not try to remove the asbestos yourself. Mishandling it could actually make things worse by allowing fibres to get into the air you breathe. This could potentially result in respiratory issues. Professionals should always remove this harmful substance for you. Therefore, you can maintain a healthy atmosphere in your home.

An AmeriSpec asbestos inspection service gives you the peace of mind you need. Book your AmeriSpec asbestos home inspection today!

Septic Inspection

AmeriSpec Septic Inspections You Can Rely On

It is important for the welfare of your home and family to have a septic system inspection. A septic system receives, treats and disposes of unwanted wastewater and solids from a home’s system. A good maintenance schedule of inspection will ensure your septic system is in good condition.

An unchecked septic system can lead to problems. By having a trained professional from AmeriSpec check your septic system, you’ll know whether you have any problems. Whether you need a minor repair or a replacement or a major overhaul of your system, our straightforward assessment will outline your problems and issues if any exist, and let you know all your options so you can make the right decision.

It’s time to check your septic system. Book your AmeriSpec septic system inspection today!

Sewer Scope Video Inspection Service

What are Sewer Scope Video Inspections?

Sewer and drain problems are more than just common annoyances for homeowners; they can cause significant damage if left unresolved. Past methods of detecting these problems can rely heavily on guesswork, yield excessive costs, and take up lots of time. That’s all about to change, thanks to AmeriSpec’s Sewer Scope Video Inspection technology and its ability to provide a state-of-the-art inspection experience.

A Sewer Scope Video Inspection is a process in which a trained technician deploys a miniature camera to observe the condition of sewer and drain pipes. The camera will relay information to the technician so they can see if everything is functioning as designed, and determine any next steps if an issue is found. Common problems can include cracks, tree roots, collapsed lines, clogs, and lost valuables…and without the use of Sewer Scope Video technology, all of these can be challenging to properly assess and fix.

The Advantages Of Sewer Scope Video Inspections

There are numerous other benefits which make Sewer Scope Video Inspections an invaluable part of your home maintenance plan:

Enhanced Flexibility

  • video technology can easily observe difficult to access areas

Recorded Evidence

  • everything the camera detects is documented for long-term maintenance strategies

Preserving Infrastructure

  • invasive procedures such as digging are mitigated

Superior Information

  • maintenance professionals can better assess problems using video technology imagery

Problem Prevention

  • the overall ease of Sewer Scope Video Inspections makes them suitable for identifying problems before they even occur!
Schedule your sewer scope video inspection today and see the difference AmeriSpec can make!
