Areas Inspected During
Pre-Purchase Building Inspections
Exterior
We inspect external walls for signs of wear, cracks, or dampness that may lead to moisture intrusion. Additionally, we check that decks, patios, verandas, balconies, balustrades, and handrails meet safety standards. All external woodwork is carefully assessed to ensure it remains in good condition.
Boundary Areas
We assess boundary fencing for any damage, termite activity, or moisture issues. Driveways and pathways are inspected for cracks or signs of wear. Additionally, we check for drainage problems or underground water accumulation that could lead to rising damp in the building's main walls.
External Roof
We access the roof to detect any broken or damaged tiles and assess the overall structural integrity. Flashings, gutters, ridges, valleys, chimneys, and flue structures are thoroughly inspected to ensure they are secure and properly attached to the building.
Sub Floor
The sub-floor is examined for any leftover construction materials that might obstruct ventilation. We inspect for moisture, evaluate electrical wiring, verify pest capping, and check that piers and stumps are structurally stable. Additionally, we ensure proper airflow by confirming that vents are clear and unobstructed.
Interior
We examine ceilings for any signs of leaks and verify that doors, floors, and windows are securely fitted without movement or deterioration. Wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms are assessed for mold, moisture, and potential waterproofing concerns.`
Roof Cavity
Inside the roof cavity, we inspect for signs of rainwater leaks, faulty electrical wiring, and insulation damage. We also verify adequate ventilation and airflow, ensure vents are clear, and check for any signs of rodent infestations.
