What Insights Do Our Property Inspections Bring To Light
Our home inspectors leave no stone unturned, evaluating every aspect of the property to uncover potential concerns and empower you with a comprehensive understanding of your prospective investment.
Foundation & Construction
During a structural inspection, we examine the foundation for signs of distress, such as cracks, sloping, and moisture intrusion, which could weaken wooden frames. We assess previous repairs for quality, ensuring they meet high standards. Identifying major defects is crucial, enabling informed decisions and effective negotiations to protect your investment.
Roof
In compliance with the Victorian Building Authority's guidelines, our inspectors conduct a thorough roof examination. This is particularly crucial in regions prone to severe weather conditions like typhoons and heavy snowfall. We assess for leaks, missing or damaged shingles or tiles, and moss growth, ensuring the roof's longevity and protecting your investment from potential water damage.
Plumbing
During pre-purchase inspections, our experienced inspectors meticulously evaluate water systems, including bathtubs, sinks, toilets, piping, and showers. We identify any leaks, corrosion, or cracks that could compromise the plumbing system's integrity and lead to costly repairs. By leaving no stone unturned, we ensure that the home's water systems are in optimal condition, safeguarding your investment.
Electrical Systems
Did you know that 40% of house fires in New South Wales are caused by electrical faults? At Inspect East, we prioritise your safety with thorough electrical inspections. Our licensed electricians evaluate the electrical panel, corroded wires, amperage ratings, switches, and receptacles, ensuring compliance with industry standards and identifying potential hazards, providing a comprehensive assessment of your electrical system's condition.
HVAC Systems
With Australian summers soaring to scorching 40°C and winters plummeting to a chilly -11°C, a well-maintained HVAC system is essential for ensuring a comfortable living environment. During our inspections, we meticulously assess the functionality of your home's heater and air conditioner, verifying that they operate efficiently, effectively meeting your heating and cooling needs, and keeping your home comfortable throughout the year.

Technology We Use for Home Inspections
Moisture Metres
Moisture metres are indispensable tools that detect the presence and levels of moisture within building materials such as wood, drywall, and concrete. These metres aid in identifying areas of potential water damage, leaks, or moisture intrusion, which can lead to structural issues or mould growth, enabling us to address these concerns promptly.
Thermal Imaging Cameras
Our thermal imaging cameras employ infrared technology to detect temperature differences within building components. This non-invasive technique allows us to identify hidden issues, such as moisture intrusion, insulation deficiencies, or electrical hotspots, that may not be visible to the naked eye, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of the property's condition.
Borescopes
Borescopes are flexible, camera-equipped tubes that enable our inspectors to visually examine hard-to-reach areas, such as wall cavities, ductwork, or pipes. By utilising borescopes, we can assess the condition of hidden components and identify any defects or damages that may otherwise go unnoticed, providing you with a complete picture of the property's state.
