In 1995 Doug Carlaw R.H.I. purchased the Pillar To Post Franchise territory encompassing Middlesex and Elgin County, and since then we are frequently named as one of the best in the home inspection industry.

Leading The Local Home Inspection Industry

• For more than 15 years we have earned the trust of home buyers, home sellers, and real estate professionals, and the franchise has grown into one of the most respected full service inspection companies in the area.
• We are viewed as a leader in the community and in the local home inspection industry. We have performed more than 8,000 home inspections in London, St. Thomas, and the surrounding communities.
• Our experience includes residential and light commercial properties, and we are qualified to inspect both new and older homes.

We are often asked by the real estate industry to hold Continuing Education Courses to real estate agents – a testament that real estate agents trust our expertise. We have taught more than 10 of these courses so far, and we are always available to answer questions if needed.

Other Inspection Services We Offer

We offer a thorough home inspection, and our clients can also choose from other related services as well. These include:

• Mold Testing
• Radon Testing
• Water Quality Testing

It will normally take between two and four hours to perform a thorough home inspection, and each home is different. Once we have finished inspecting the entire home, and this covers more than 1,600 items and components, the inspector will print out the report and any related color photographs right on the site. We encourage our clients to attend the inspection and ask any questions that they have.

Experienced And Certified Home Inspectors

Both of the inspectors with the Pillar To Post franchise are very experienced, and qualified to inspect homes of all types and values as well as multi-unit and light commercial properties.
