The Structured Property Report: Your Roadmap to a Safe Simcoe County Home

A home inspection is only as good as the report it produces. At Structured Property Inspections, we don’t just hand you a checklist. We provide a digital, photo-rich roadmap of your property’s health, specifically designed for the unique building challenges found in Barrie, Innisfil, Bradford, and Simcoe County.

Our reports are built on the OAHI (Ontario Association of Home Inspectors) Standards of Practice, ensuring that every legal and safety benchmark is met with 100% transparency.

What’s Inside a Structured Property Report?

We leave no stone unturned. Our digital reports break down the complex systems of your home into easy-to-digest sections:

1. The Executive Summary (The "Must-Knows")

Located at the very beginning, this section highlights major safety concerns and high-priority repairs. If there is a foundation crack in Bradford or a faulty electrical panel in Barrie, you’ll see it here first.

2. Exterior & Structural Integrity

From the shingles on your roof to the footings in your basement, we evaluate the "bones" of the house. We specifically look for Simcoe County-specific issues, such as:

  • Frost Heave impact on decks and walkways.

  • Ice Damming evidence in gutters and soffits.

  • Foundation Seepage common in our local clay soils.

3. The "Big Three": Electrical, Plumbing & HVAC

We provide a deep dive into the systems that keep your home running.

  • Electrical: We identify outdated wiring (like Knob & Tube or Aluminum) and fire hazards.

  • Plumbing: Detailed checks for leaks, water pressure issues, and sump pump reliability.

  • HVAC: Operational tests of your furnace and AC to ensure they can handle an Ontario winter.

4. Thermal & Moisture Data

If you opted for our Infrared Thermal Scan, those images are embedded directly into the report. We show you the "visual proof" of heat loss or hidden moisture behind finished walls.

Why Our Reports are the Best in Simcoe County

  • Annotated High-Res Photos: We don't just say there's a leak; we circle it in the photo and explain why it matters.

  • Mobile-Friendly Delivery: View your report on your phone, tablet, or laptop immediately after the inspection.

  • Agent-Friendly Formatting: Our reports make it easy for real estate agents to create "Request for Repair" lists, streamlining the negotiation process.

  • Code of Conduct: As proud members of the Ontario Association of Home Inspectors (OAHI), we follow a strict code of ethics—unbiased, professional, and thorough.

Conclusion: Don't Settle for a Checklist

In Barrie and Innisfil, your home is your most valuable asset. Don't leave its future to a generic, one-page report. Get the "Bottom Line" with a comprehensive evaluation that protects your family and your wallet.
