Pre-1970, the 1970-1990 problem decade, the 1990-2005 transition, and modern builds. How interior defects and hazards manifest differently in each Ontario housing era and what to expect.
What you will learn in this guide
This guide covers the key aspects of interior defects and hazards in ontario housing eras — 1960s to 2020s relevant to Ontario homebuyers. Every point is based on real inspection findings from Ontario properties.
Key fact: This topic is covered as part of our standard 200+ checkpoint inspection. Every finding is documented with photos, thermal images where applicable, and severity rating.
Why this matters for Ontario buyers
Ontario's housing stock spans over a century of construction eras, each with distinct risks. Understanding these risks before you buy gives you negotiating power and prevents costly surprises after closing.
What your inspector checks
Every Inspectionly inspection includes a thorough assessment of interior as part of the 200+ checkpoint protocol. Your RHI certified inspector uses thermal imaging, moisture detection, and drone technology to evaluate every accessible component.
