This fall

Get the house ready before winter

The services most homes need between now and the first freeze.

This season

$239

Fall & Winter Home Preparation

The outdoor tap left on in November is the pipe that bursts in January.

  • Outdoor taps shut off and drained
  • Furnace filter replaced
  • Humidifier switched over for the season
  • Smoke and CO alarms tested
  • Sump pump tested before the freeze, where present
  • Doors and windows checked for drafts

One visit before the freeze, for homes up to two storeys and 2,000 sq ft; larger homes are quoted. Add eavestrough cleaning on the same visit: bungalow $169, two-storey $239, taller homes quoted. Anything found is quoted first, never added silently.

Snowbird Home Watch

Powered by Still There™

Your house reports in every day, even when the internet is out.

While you're away for the winter, your house still needs someone watching it. A furnace that stops, a pipe that freezes or a slow leak can go unnoticed for weeks in an empty house. Most insurers also require regular checks while you're away. Snowbird Home Watch does both: sensors watch your home every day, and our team responds in person when something changes.

  • Still There™ sensing with 4 sensors: 2 temperature and humidity, 2 water leak
  • Your home's health from anywhere, in the Still There™ app*
  • A cellular connection, so it works without your internet
  • We check in person when a reading changes or the house goes quiet. The first alert visit each month is included, then $79 each.
  • A weekly report to you and your family
  • Setup and pickup: $199. This covers installation, the departure checklist, and removal at the end of the season.

Save up to 30% with our neighbourhood referral program.

You and your neighbour each get 10% off visits for every neighbour who joins, up to 30%. The discount applies to visits only.

Independent Roof Inspection

An honest look at your roof from someone who isn't selling you a new one. We recommend work only when it's needed.

  • On the roof, not from the street
  • Shingles, valleys, flashing, vents, pipe boots, chimney and skylights
  • Soffits, fascia and eavestroughs checked from the roof
  • Signs of animals getting in, and branches that give them a way up
  • Attic: water, frost, insulation, ventilation, and fans venting into the attic
  • A photo report with what needs attention now, what can wait, and the roof's estimated remaining life

$189 when added to the Home Inspection. Homes over two storeys are quoted. If weather keeps us off the roof, we come back for that part at no charge.

  • Furnace, filter and alarms
  • Visible foundation walls checked for cracks and signs of water
  • Grading and drainage around the house
  • Electrical panel checked visually

Home Safety Assessment

Most homes have a few things worth fixing. You do not know which ones until someone looks.

  • Entrances, steps and railings
  • Lighting in halls and stairways
  • Tub and shower access and grab points
  • Water temperature at the tap
  • Floors, rugs and trip points
  • Smoke and CO alarms
  • Outside walkways
  • A written list of what would help, in priority order, with estimated costs

A room-by-room visit by a professional home assessor. A written list of what would help, in priority order, with estimated costs and the grants and tax credits you may qualify for. No obligation. A practical home review, not a clinical or occupational therapy assessment.
