Greetings! Welcome to " Know Your Home.' Well, it's December on the coast, or as I like to call it "Monsoon Season!" ha-ha! When it's cold and rainy outside it certainly makes me appreciate the comfort of a warm dry home. However in my professional life, I often see homes that are neither warm nor dry due to improper water drainage. This can be a serious situation which can lead to enormous costs, both in repairs and in a loss of your home's value. Therefore, I encourage you all to read this article to make sure your drainage system is functioning correctly. "The Importance of Perimeter Drainage!"As a Professional Home Inspector I am very pleased to provide you with professional tips and tricks for keeping your home safe and in tip top shape. Please pass this newsletter on to friends, family members or associates who may benefit from it. By doing so you could win a Tim Horton's gift card ( see offer below).  | | Click on image to view video |

Strata/Condominium/Townhouse Inspection
|
When it comes to Strata complexes, some home inspectors will only inspect the living area for you, and charge the same or more for the inspection. At Hansen Home Inspections we are proud to say that when we inspect a Strata property we not only inspect the unit, we also inspect the common areas as well as the outside of the complex. The majority of concerns/problems occur on the outside of any building. We have all heard of leaky condos and how much that can cost to repair. Don't just rely on the Strata minutes. It is always best to have your inspector check the entire building during the course of the inspection.  Hansen Home Inspections Ltd.is a licensed professional home inspection firm in North Vancouver, BC. We serve buyers, sellers and those maintaining their homes in the North Shore and Metro Vancouver areas. If you would like to discuss my services please do not hesitate to contact me. |
