Identifying Any Significant Issues
A building inspection identifies any significant building safety issues, that may devalue the property.
Combined building and pest inspections are undertaken by a licensed builder who will identify any structural defects, safety or pest issues that may devalue the property in accordance with the Australian Standard (AS 4349.1-2007).
During the inspection, the roof void and the sub-floor will be accessed and assessed in addition to the internal and external parts of the building. In doing this, we can identify any major or minor defects in the structure visually and by physical inspection. For example, damaged timber may not be obvious or visible through painted surfaces – so as experienced inspectors, we tap on frames, door jams, cabinets and components of wood construction to detect the presence of weakened timber.
We will identify signs of water leaks from water pipes, baths and shower stalls. Identifying these issues is high on the list of priorities as moisture is one of the major causes of damage to a dwelling. Moisture can create conditions conducive to timber pest attack and also lead to major and minor structural damage.
