CANPRO Home Inspections provides professional home inspection services throughout Coquitlam, BC. Our inspections help buyers understand a property’s condition before making a major investment. We inspect accessible areas and systems throughout the property during every inspection.
Comprehensive Home Inspections in Coquitlam
Our inspection covers the roof, exterior, foundation, structure, attic, plumbing, and electrical systems. We also inspect heating systems, ventilation, interior components, and visible safety concerns. Our home inspector in Coquitlam looks for visible defects throughout the accessible areas.
We check for moisture concerns, drainage problems, structural movement, and signs of deterioration. We also look for conditions that could affect safety, performance, or future maintenance. Thermal imaging can help identify temperature differences and potential moisture concerns during inspections.
Inspecting Coquitlam Homes of Different Ages
Coquitlam features older homes, newer developments, townhomes, condos, and detached properties. Each property can present different concerns based on age, construction, and maintenance history. Older homes may require additional attention because components can deteriorate over many years.
Newer properties can also have construction defects, installation issues, or incomplete finishing work. Our inspection helps identify visible concerns before they become unexpected maintenance expenses.
Helping Coquitlam Homebuyers Make Informed Decisions
A professional home inspection can help buyers make better-informed purchasing decisions. It can also help homeowners understand maintenance concerns before they become larger problems. Sellers can benefit from identifying potential issues before listing their property for sale.
Our inspection reports include detailed photographs and clear descriptions of observed conditions. We explain significant concerns in straightforward language that clients can easily understand. When necessary, we recommend further evaluation by qualified contractors or specialized professionals.

Home Inspections Built for Coquitlam's Homes
Coquitlam isn't one housing market — it's several. Burquitlam is growing fast with newer condo towers and townhome complexes near the SkyTrain, Westwood Plateau has newer detached homes climbing the hillside, and Ranch Park and Central Coquitlam hold older family homes from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Add steep hillside lots with real drainage challenges and a large stock of homes built between 1985 and 1998 — the Poly-B plumbing era — and a proper inspection has to match the home in front of you, not a generic checklist.
At Canpro Home Inspections, every Coquitlam inspection is performed by licensed inspector Loveleen Singh (Lic #88698) to CanNACHI standards, with thermal imaging and drone roof inspection included in the toolkit — not sold back to you as add-ons. You get a photo-rich, plain-English report the same day, plus a walkthrough of every finding before we leave.
What We Watch For in Coquitlam Homes
- Newer condos & townhomes in Burquitlam: in-suite plumbing and ventilation, window seal failures, balcony drainage, and the finishing and sealing misses that commonly show up in a tower's first years.
- Detached homes on Westwood Plateau: hillside grading and drainage, retaining walls, roof condition, and how surface water is directed on sloped lots after heavy Tri-Cities rain.
- Older homes in Ranch Park & Central Coquitlam: aging roofs and furnaces, older electrical panels, and Poly-B plumbing — installed in many homes built from 1985 to 1998, it can become brittle with age, so we identify it and report its condition wherever it's found.
- Every Coquitlam home: moisture. Our wet winters find weak flashing, tired caulking, and poor grading fast — thermal imaging helps trace where water is actually getting in.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a home inspection cost in Coquitlam?
Condos start at $299, townhouses at $399, and detached homes at $499 with Canpro. Every inspection includes thermal imaging and a same-day, photo-rich report.
What is Poly-B plumbing, and does it matter in Coquitlam?
Poly-B (polybutylene) was commonly installed in homes built between 1985 and 1998 — a large share of Coquitlam's housing stock. It can deteriorate with age and water conditions. We identify it during the inspection and report on its visible condition so you can plan with real information.
Do you inspect homes on hillside lots?
Yes. On sloped properties like those on Westwood Plateau, we pay close attention to grading, drainage paths, and retaining walls — the systems that keep hillside homes dry through the rainy season.
How long does a home inspection take?
Most Coquitlam homes take 2–3 hours depending on size and age. You receive your report the same day, and we walk you through the findings in person before we leave.
