Is Inspectionly RHI certified for older home inspection?

Yes. All Inspectionly inspections are performed by a Registered Home Inspector (RHI) certified by the Ontario Association of Home Inspectors (OAHI). We carry full errors and omissions insurance on every inspection in Ontario.

Can I get a same-day older home inspection in Ontario?

Yes. Inspectionly offers same-day older home inspection across the GTA, Halton, Peel, York, Durham, Hamilton, Niagara, and Simcoe County. Book before noon for same-day availability in most areas. Your report is always delivered the same day as the inspection.

What happens if the older home inspection finds serious problems?

Your inspector will explain every finding in plain language during and after the inspection. Your same-day report prioritizes findings by severity and urgency. Your inspector is available for 60 days after the inspection to answer questions. If a defect was missed that was reasonably visible, we will work with you directly to make it right.

What does the drone + thermal imaging upgrade add to a older home inspection?

The upgrade adds an infrared thermal scan — revealing hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots invisible to the naked eye — and a 4K drone assessment that documents your roof condition without ladder risk. It is an optional $175 add-on, and the findings are integrated into the same same-day report.
