Richmond Hill conditions that change how wett inspection is done
Homeowners in Richmond Hill tend to call us at one of two moments: the week before guests arrive, or the week after something started smelling wrong.
Post-war subdivisions across York share the same construction generation, so when one street starts showing the same defect, the neighbours usually follow within a couple of seasons.
Snow load and ice damming stress the roof-to-wall junction each winter; by spring the sealant that was doing the work has usually torn.
Across Elgin Mills, Observatory, Headford, Rouge Woods and South Richvale, the housing stock changes street by street, and the correct method changes with it. A century home with a soft-brick stack does not get the same treatment as a 2010 build with a factory-built vent — using one method on both is how systems get damaged.
the practical takeaway is that a wett inspection visit should start with an assessment, not a tool. Any crew that begins work before telling you what they found is guessing on your behalf.
