Maple Ridge's Top-Rated Smoke Alarm Specialist
Smoke Alarm Inspection
in Maple Ridge & the Lower Mainland
A full room-by-room safety inspection of every smoke and CO alarm in your home — placement, age, interconnection, and function, all checked and documented in a written report. Flat $99.99. Same-day or next-day appointments across Maple Ridge and the Lower Mainland. Not an official fire-department inspection — a private residential safety check, done by a certified technician.
A Complete Smoke & CO Alarm
Inspection, Room by Room
Every inspection follows the same checklist, whether it's one bedroom or a full strata building — nothing skipped, everything documented.
Placement & Coverage
Every bedroom, hallway, and level checked against BC Fire Code placement rules — including corridors and combustible-appliance areas often missed by builders.
Age & Expiry Check
Smoke alarms have a 10-year sensor life even if they still beep on test. We check the manufacture date stamped on every unit and flag anything past its expiry.
Interconnection Test
If one alarm sounds, they all should. We test whether your alarms are properly interconnected — hardwired or wireless-linked — as BC Fire Code requires.
CO Alarm Check
Carbon monoxide alarms are required near sleeping areas and fuel-burning appliances in BC. We confirm yours are present, working, and correctly placed.
Function & Battery Test
Every alarm tested for a real response, not just a beep — hardwired backup batteries, sealed 10-year batteries, and sensor sensitivity all checked.
Written Report
You get a written summary of every alarm's condition and location — useful for pre-sale disclosure, tenant move-in, insurance, or strata compliance records.

— and Counting
"Richard is a life saver! We can't recommend him enough. He came to our rescue after-hours on a Friday evening when our smoke alarm was beeping. He was extremely professional and very attentive — he even vacuumed up any slight debris from the work. Incredibly knowledgeable and kept us fully informed every step of the way."
"I had a great experience with Richard from The Smoke Alarm Doctor. He replaced all our combination smoke/CO detectors after they malfunctioned. Super responsive — arrived within 12 hours of my initial enquiry. He also changed all the batteries in the smoke-only detectors free of charge. Highly recommended!"
"Hands down, the BEST in the business! Richard is honest, approachable, and someone you can wholeheartedly trust in your home or business. A true professional who genuinely cares about the people he serves. Our strata council was thoroughly impressed."
