About Me...

My name is Ken Buck, and I am an Associate Member of the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors (B.C.).  My original background was in Law Enforcement with the R.C.M.P., followed by Municipal By-law Enforcement.  Coupled with the investigative background of these careers and my personal experience with my own design/build construction projects, the Home Inspection Industry held great interest for me and has been an excellent career move.

We are aware that the "unknown" is a concern for any home purchaser.  This is the reason that professional home inspections have become a common event.

At Ken Buck & Associates we are committed to helping those who want to know the true condition of their potential home.

Testimonials...

Ken was a true professional from start to finish.  The walk-through afterwards was a definite plus - we could see first hand (with a tour guide!) what needed tending to.  After Ken's inspection, we could rest easy with our decision to buy.

Carrie Ell, Langley

We appreciated Ken's clear and concise reporting, which we received immediately after the inspection.  With a decision this big, his honesty was appreciated.

T. Whitman, Abbotsford

 

The Inspection...

We usually start on the exterior by examining the roof, roof penetrations and various components around the perimeter of the home, including the grounds.  The major systems within the home are examined, such as structure, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems.  Also inspected are the basement and or crawl space, plus accessible attic spaces.  We check the plumbing fixtures, test electrical switches and receptacles, operate windows and doors, and look under sinks and in closets.

We do not operate shut off valves for natural/propane gas or water systems.

A hand written and verbal report is given to the client upon completion of the inspection.  The inspection time, from 2.5 to 5 hours, is dependant upon size and complexity of the home.

Hundreds of building components are covered in each inspection, giving our clients the confidence necessary to make an informed decision.
