Buying a Home This Summer? Here’s Why a Home Inspection is Still a Must

Buying a Home This Summer? Here’s Why a Home Inspection is Still a Must

Edmonton’s summer real estate market moves fast—longer days, warm weather, and a flood of new listings can create the perfect storm for eager homebuyers. But with all the excitement and competition, there’s one thing you should never rush past: a professional home inspection.

At Ticketed Tradesmen Inspection Group, we help homebuyers make smart, informed decisions with detailed, reliable inspections—so you don’t get stuck with costly surprises after you move in.

Why Summer Homebuyers Might Skip the Inspection—But Shouldn’t

In hot markets, it’s common for buyers to feel pressure to skip the inspection to make their offer more appealing. Some think summer weather means fewer issues. Others assume a newer home doesn’t need a close look. But skipping this critical step can lead to serious regrets later.

Even in the best weather, homes can hide problems that only a trained professional will catch—especially when sellers are rushing to show properties at their best.

What a Summer Home Inspection Covers

Our summer inspections cover everything you need to know before signing on the dotted line, including:

  • Roof and exterior: Summer sun may hide roof damage or poor drainage. We check shingles, siding, gutters, and foundations.
  • HVAC performance: We test the cooling systems that matter most in the summer and look for signs of wear or poor maintenance.
  • Attic and ventilation: Hot weather highlights insulation and airflow issues that could affect comfort and efficiency.
  • Plumbing & electrical systems: We check for signs of leaks, corrosion, or outdated wiring—issues that can become worse with heat or seasonal use.
  • Pest activity: Summer is prime time for insects and rodents. We’ll check for signs of infestations you may not spot during a showing.

At Ticketed Tradesmen Inspection Group, our inspectors are not only certified but we are journeymen that also bring hands-on trades experience to the job.
