7 Practical Ways to Protect Your Home From Water Damage & Mold Growth

UncategorizedBy Fortified Home Inspections

Water damage and mold can be devastating to your home. What’s worse is that unlike fire, theft, or most other accidents, flood damage and mold aren’t always covered by your home insurance policy. Mold can also be very hazardous for your family’s health.  Mold is one of the top issues I’m looking for when I…

Made online bookings with Fortified for inspections of three properties we were considering this summer. Each time we had very prompt email followups, from Garrett at the office, to confirm and fine-tune details of our inspections.On the first inspection day the inspector was actually on the roof when we arrived, a few minutes late, as our realtor had met him, on time, and got the ball rolling. Bert spent the whole morning with us, walking around and through the entire house with considerable attention to detail, while he took photos, explained every step, and noted observations for the report.Well worth the time & money. With each inspection he sent us access/link to download the full report and a summary the same day. Three times lucky: We're in the process of closing the deal on our latest/third home inspected by Bert of Fortified Home Inspections. Very thorough, professional and highly recommended.

Bert was extremely thorough during our home inspection. He was quick to send us our inspection report, and gave us lots of recommendations on how to fix any defects he noticed during his sweep of the house. Great service and very personable. Thank you!

We recently engaged Fortified Home Inspection for our first home inspection in Canada. As newcomers to the country, the entire process was unfamiliar to our family. We were introduced to Bert Blakely through our realtor, and initially, we were uncertain about what to expect.Bert's management of the entire process has been nothing short of remarkable. Upon providing him with the property details and our preferred date and time, we received an agreement for online signature and a convenient payment link for credit or debit card transactions, all within a matter of 5-10 minutes, and without any additional charges.On the day of the inspection, we received a timely reminder email, and Bert was punctual even though we were running late. He dedicated nearly four hours to conducting a comprehensive inspection. By the afternoon of the same day, we received a detailed inspection report complete with images and a concise summary. Bert's report is thoughtfully structured, utilizing color-coded highlights to draw attention to areas that require our consideration.Despite our limited knowledge of the construction industry, Bert patiently spent approximately 30 minutes with us over the phone, elucidating the implications and costs associated with his recommendations. This level of dedication and willingness to educate clients underscores Bert's professionalism and exemplifies the kind of service one expects from a provider.We wholeheartedly recommend Bert's services to anyone seeking a thorough home inspection before making a purchase. It's evident that he goes above and beyond to ensure his clients are well-informed and confident in their decisions. Bert Blakely and Fortified Home Inspection have truly exceeded our expectations.Thanks

Bert did a very thorough job with our inspection. With buying an acreage for the first time, and a modular for the first time, he was very informative in what things we needed to keep an eye on. He was professional but funny and made good conversation. The price was good for needing a full acreage inspection (water, well, septic, shop, and house). I highly recommend fortified for your inspection needs.

I had great experience with the home inspection. Bert conducted the inspection - professional , knowledgeable and thorough. Bert was exceptional in guiding me through the inspection and things that need to be thoroughly looked and pointing out flags. Also kind enough to fix some minor issue like clogging and some minor patch work.Bert managed to revisit our home second time on our request with no charge.Overall I highly recommend the team.

Home inspector was on time and friendly. The inspection and report was comprehensive and easy to understand. The report was sent the less than two hours after the inspector finished. I was able to easily make arrangements to fix any of the issues found due to a clear understanding of the severity and the level of service needed to make any repairs. Overall I absolutely would recommend this company to anyone needing a home inspection. Total price was clearly laid out before hand. Bert was fantastic.

I am a real estate investor who buys frequently and therefore order a lot of home inspections. I am not exaggerating when I say that Fortified are , by a mile, the very best company I have ever worked with. From their use of technology, presentation of their report, ease of reading and understanding their reports, I will for sure be using them again for all my business in Edmonton.

He is thorough, knowledgeable and responsive. I would recommend Brett to anyone who wants to do a GOOD home inspection that can be trusted.

We had the pleasure to have Bert perform inspection on our home in Feb 2023. He was professional and went above and beyond what expected. We also got many home maintenance tips. He helped us identified the major issues that need to be look at and offered 2nd look once those issues identified has been resolved by builder. Highly recommend this super hero. Thanks Bert! Another super hero Garrett also answered all the questions we had and feel comfortable enough to go with Fortified with exceptional customer service. No regrets. They are priced right, we valued very much their exceptional dedication and integrity to their job. You will feel you made the right choice, you gave them your trust to do the work, and they have earned your trust in return. Thank you!❤️🙏👍

Fortified gives the best Home Inspections! Bert came out to inspect our new home. He was very respectful to us. He listened to our questions and took our concerns seriously. I’ve had five other inspections done in the past by other companies but this was by far the more detailed inspection we have had. Bert was knowledgeable on every topic. He took the time to look into everything with attention to detail. He shared how we could fix issues that were noted. The report was given to us right away. It included pictures even ones showing heat escaping the ceiling. Very impressive! Thanks Bert for your excellent report and professionalism. Choose Fortified for your next Home Inspection.

We recommend Fortified Home Inspections. Bert helped us do our 1 year inspection. He was very nice and knowledgeable, and most importantly very thorough with the inspection. There issues found that we would have never known if it weren’t for him. He even went beyond his scope to ensure that everything about the house was checked. He also gave us honest expert advise on how to solve some of the minor issues. Great job, Bert. It was a pleasure having you over. 10/10 would recommend to friends and family and would be using this company for the services they offer in the future!

He took the time to explain every item he was inspecting. The issues found were categorized from minor to major and a report was provided with tons of pictures and videos.Overall I wish they would of built my house very impressed on their professionalismThanks guys !

Garrett communicated with me on sms and email to make the inspection appointment prior to the house purchase. He was prompt to reply and was very clear about the price. A very competitive and reasonable price too. Bert was the one to do the house inspection. He texted and emailed me the day before the inspection to remind me. He showed up early and inspected the outside of the house with a drone before I arrived. He went through everything and even explained to me in details so I know how to deal with the furnace, the water pipe and water pump. Very friendly and professional. The report was released to me within hours after the inspection. I am very pleased with their service and price. I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs a home inspection before purchase.

He went above and beyond and even offered to tighten the deck railing screws that were loose. And to top all of it off, his sense of humour made the inspection so much fun. Truly a gem!

Both my fiancé and I were greatly impressed with the level of service Fortified Inspections provide for our pre-possession inspection. Please appreciate my high recommendations of this inspection service being that I am experienced Project Manger and earlier in my career a JM Carpenter. During the inspection Bert was very helpful as I bounced ideas off of him for our plans for developing the basement specifically the plumbing in the partially finished basement. You will not be disappointed with this company for home inspections.

A very positive experience with Kaven for our first time home inspection.I appreciated the time he invested to do the inspection, going through a lot of details that I could ask questions about and learn. It was more of “know your home” than “here’s what’s wrong”.The report received was great, identifies all the items inspected. It also summarized the deficient items at the end to be tracked easily.He used a drone to inspect the roof, there was two inches of snow at that time but we could still see the vents and the exhaust fans.Payment was easy as he had a mobile terminal.I would recommend to family and friends!! :)
