Building inspection in the Laurentians

From the north shore to the peaks

In the south of the region, Blainville, Boisbriand, Mirabel and Saint-Jérôme have seen steady residential growth, with many homes 20 to 40 years old and new projects. Saint-Jérôme also keeps an old core with many plexes.

Further north, the market changes completely: chalets, mountain homes, resort condos and waterfront properties, often on sloped lots with wells and septic systems. Many are rented short term, which speeds up wear.

Slopes, snow and septic systems

In the mountains, sloped lots, meltwater runoff and snow loads on complex roofs are major issues. We check drainage around foundations, cathedral roof condition and attic ventilation.

Near lakes, several municipalities closely monitor septic systems. In the south, cases of pyrite-bearing fill have been documented on the north shore, and the plain's clay soils call for attention to drainage.

Most requested inspections in the Laurentians

Based on documented issues in the Laurentians, the checks we most often recommend on top of the pre-purchase inspection are foundation, pyrite and pyrrhotite assessment, french drain camera inspection and condo inspection. They directly address the territory's risks: pyrite in the fill under slabs, condos, plexes and homes renovated for resale, and off-grid wells and septic systems.

Each request is routed to an inspector who knows the area. You can combine several services in one visit, which reduces delays during your offer's conditional period.
