Chestermere has grown from a lake community into one of Alberta's fastest-expanding cities, and its housing stock reflects that: 1970s–90s lakefront bungalows, 2000s estate homes on the water, acreages on private well and septic, and thousands of new builds still inside their Alberta New Home Warranty window. Each of those needs a different set of eyes. HomeWise Property Inspections has inspected across Chestermere for buyers, sellers, and homeowners — every full inspection includes thermal imaging, drone roof scans where appropriate, appliance functional testing, and a detailed digital report delivered the same day, so you can clear your condition deadline without stress. Inspections in Chestermere start at $475 + GST for detached homes and $375 + GST for condos and townhomes, with the same pricing as Calgary.

Lakefront property awareness
Lake-adjacent homes face elevated moisture and freeze-thaw exposure. We inspect for moisture intrusion, foundation movement, and weather-related wear with extra care.
Newer build deficiencies
Chelsea, Kinniburgh and Rainbow Falls are full of recent builds. Our pre-board and final walkthrough inspections catch builder issues before warranty deadlines pass.
Wind exposure
Open lakeside terrain means high winds. We pay close attention to roof, siding, and fence/deck condition.
Well & septic acreages
Many properties east and south of the lake sit on private water and septic. We flag pump, pressure tank, treatment and field condition concerns and tell you when a dedicated septic or water test is worth the money.
Poly-B and aluminum wiring era homes
Chestermere homes built between 1985 and 1997 frequently have Poly-B supply lines, and 1970s builds can carry aluminum branch wiring. Both affect insurance — we identify them clearly and explain your options.
Hail and storm exposure
Chestermere sits in Alberta's hail corridor. Our drone roof scan documents shingle bruising, soft metal dents, and siding damage, which is exactly the evidence insurers ask for.
11th month warranty timing
If you bought new in Chelsea, Dawson's Landing or Kinniburgh, your 1-year Alberta warranty deadline arrives fast. We inspect in months 10–11 so defects go to the builder in writing while coverage is live.
Fast, detailed reports
Digital reports with photos, thermal images and repair priorities delivered the same day — readable on your phone and easy to forward to your realtor.
