The inspection looks for major building defects such as Leaking roofs, Structural inadequacies, Leaking showers, damp issues, poor external drainage, water hammer and potential safety hazards.
During a building inspection the following areas are fully explored:
The Roof exterior
– The roof coverings such as tiles, corrugated metal and membranes, valleys, flashings, cappings, penetrations and skylights, gutters and down pipes etc – Essentially we look for evidence the roof is not water tight or adequately plumbed.
The Roof interior
– The roof framing members and connections are checked for defects, the roof covering (from the inside) is checked for evidence of leaks, sisalation, insulation and electrical installations are assessed for potential safety hazards.
The Building exterior
– The building elevations are checked for cracks and other defects, windows, walls, doors, lintels all external accessible areas are assessed, balconies / verandahs, decks and other timber structures are checked for structural adequacy, wood rot and other defects.
The Building interior
– All of the building interior is checked – bedrooms, hallways and living areas for defects including the floors, walls and ceilings, timber trims, windows and doors as well as joinery and cupboards. Wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundries are assessed for a number of things including water operation, evidence of water hammer, age and condition of hot water service, evidence of leaking shower recess / wet areas, defects to sanitary fixture and fittings, toilets are flushed and moisture readings are taken.
The Site
– Paths and steps, retaining walls, driveways and external surface drainage are inspected for defects or inadequacies up to 30 meters from the main building. Large trees and other potential problems are assessed including the boundary fences.
All outbuildings are inspected, such as a garage, granny flat or shed.
The Sub Floor
We also go into the sub floor of the property to ensure that there is termite protection, good ventilation and that the framing timbers and support posts are adequate.
Cracking
We will outline any cracking to the property, where it is, how big it is and if it is a major or minor defect to the property.
