Why We Stand Out?
Under the Building
We carefully assess the base and foundations to ensure structural stability and look for any signs of weakness or movement. Our inspection also covers stumps and floor frame conditions, identifying deterioration or damage.
Internal Roof Cavity
The roof cavity is inspected for the quality and strength of roof framing and overall construction. We check for structural issues, plumbing leaks, and roof tile deterioration that may cause future problems. Insulation is reviewed for effectiveness and compliance, while safety checks focus on identifying any fire hazards or risks within the roof space.
Externally
Our external inspection covers the full building exterior, including cladding and walls, to spot cracks, damage, or deterioration. Chimneys and brickwork are reviewed for stability and defects, including cracked bricks. We also inspect doors, windows, balconies, verandas, patios, and decks for safety, durability, and maintenance needs.
Inside the Building
We thoroughly examine all internal areas, including walls, flooring, and ceilings, to identify cracks, damage, or wear. Doors and windows are assessed for functionality and structural condition. Bathrooms, ensuites, and laundry areas are checked for leaks, moisture issues, and overall quality. The kitchen is inspected for build quality, fittings, and any underlying concerns that may affect usability or safety.
