Meet VI Inspections Owner & Home Inspector
VI Inspections owner and inspector Tyrel Kerpan is a highly qualified home inspector whose career path has thoroughly prepared him for this role.
A Foundation of Curiosity
Tyrel’s story begins on a Saskatchewan farm where a childhood fascination with how things work developed. This curiosity propelled him through university, culminating in a Master’s degree in physics. While the world of nuclear physics initially beckoned, Tyrel soon realized his calling lay elsewhere.
Diverse Experiences and Well-Rounded Skillset
Though his formal education led him to the oil and gas industry and even teaching college mathematics, Tyrel’s hands-on nature craved something more. This desire for practical knowledge led him to explore the trades, honing his construction and renovation skills through extensive work on his own homes over the years.
Ever the seeker of knowledge, Tyrel enrolled in the Carson Dunlop Home Inspector Training program, widely recognized as the pinnacle of home inspector education. This rigorous training, combined with his existing construction and renovation experience, created a formidable foundation for his home inspection career.
What truly sets Tyrel apart is his ability to educate and empower clients throughout the home-buying process. He believes knowledge is power, and his inspections go beyond simply identifying issues. Tyrel strives to explain everything clearly and concisely, ensuring you understand the home’s condition and potential future needs before completing one of the largest purchases of your life.
Empowering Clients for Long-Term Success
Tyrel recognizes that all homes eventually require some level of maintenance or repair. That’s why he goes the extra mile, remaining a resource for clients even after the purchase is finalized. His goal is to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to handle any situation your home may throw your way.

The Face Behind the Business
When Tyrel isn’t busy building his business, he’s still always on the go, raising his three young boys with his amazing wife. When he has a moment to himself, Tyrel likes to keep himself busy working on construction projects around the home.
Community sports have always been a big part of Tyrel’s family’s lives. Tyrel strives to do his part to give back to the community and the activities that have enriched his life – including coaching his son’s baseball teams and volunteering on the board of directors of the VI Raiders junior football team. Playing for the Raiders is what initially brought Tyrel to Nanaimo and he’s keen on seeing the program succeed and positively shape future generations.
