What We Inspect

What Insights Do Our Property Inspections Bring To Light

Foundation & Construction

We examine the foundation for signs of distress — cracks, sloping, moisture intrusion — and assess previous repairs for quality, so major defects are identified before you negotiate.

Roof

In compliance with the Victorian Building Authority's guidelines, we assess for leaks, missing or damaged shingles or tiles, and moss growth, protecting your investment from water damage.

Plumbing

We meticulously evaluate water systems — bathtubs, sinks, toilets, piping and showers — identifying leaks, corrosion or cracks that could compromise the plumbing system.

Electrical Systems

Our licensed electricians evaluate the electrical panel, corroded wires, amperage ratings, switches and receptacles, ensuring compliance and identifying potential hazards.

HVAC Systems

We assess the functionality of your home's heater and air conditioner, verifying they operate efficiently and keep your home comfortable year-round.

Moisture Metres

Moisture metres detect the presence and levels of moisture within building materials such as wood, drywall and concrete, aiding in identifying water damage or leaks.

Thermal Imaging Cameras

Our thermal imaging cameras detect temperature differences within building components, identifying hidden issues like moisture intrusion or electrical hotspots.

Borescopes

Flexible, camera-equipped tubes that let our inspectors visually examine hard-to-reach areas — wall cavities, ductwork or pipes — for defects that would otherwise go unnoticed.
