Awards

 

 

Sarnia home inspector receives national award               First Monday, January 2004, page 8

 

 

The Canadian Association of Home & Property Inspectors (CAHPI) has bestowed its highest honour on Bill Mullen, owner of Bluewater Home Inspection in Sarnia.

 

Mullen says he’s very proud to have been selected from among 5,000 association members as the recipient of this year’s Stephen Greenford Award.  It is presented annually to recognize the winner’s dedication and contribution to the advancement and development of the home inspection profession in Canada.  Mullen recently received the honour in Toronto during the association’s national conference and annual general meeting, at which he was elected to a third consecutive term as CAHPI’s president.

 

Mullen said it’s an achievement in itself to become president.  The process requires winning elections at both provincial and national levels.  CAHPI was established nearly 20 years ago and has worked towards a number of goals including raising public awareness of the home inspection profession and interacting with government on such concerns as improving Canada’s housing stock.

 

One thing people may not realize is that inspecting homes can be dangerous.  The award Mullen received is named for a CAHPI member who suffered a fatal fall from a roof during an inspection.  Mullen said inspectors can face many potential dangers in houses including unsafe electrical conditions and hazardous materials in places like attics and crawl spaces.

 

With a background in residential construction, Mullen launched Bluewater Home Inspection about 10 years ago.  He has become increasingly busy over the years as more home buyers realize the value of having an inspection before closing a deal.  He estimates 50 to 60 per cent of home sales now involve inspections.
