House Inspection

We conduct a visual inspection and use a range of inspection instruments and tools like:

1. Moisture meters
2. Thermal imaging cameras
3. Scopes
4. Sounding devices

We record evidence of building defects including taking measurements where applicable and recording photos of the defects.  We then document all of these findings into an easy to read report.

1. Roof exterior
2. Roof interior (roof void)
3. Under the floor (if applicable)
4. Interior and exterior of the house
5. Other structures on the property like garages, car ports and sheds
6. The site itself including drainage, retaining walls and fencing

1. Depending on the property itself, we allow an hour for the inspection and up to another hour for reporting and documentation.
2. Some home inspections take less or more time depending on the degree of accessibility and depending on the number of defects found.
3. We then prepare the report and liaise with the client on the findings.
4. The report is available within 24 hours of inspection and often sooner.

The following list is an example of the types of issues or areas of the house that are excluded from the inspection.  Speak with your building inspector about any concerns and refer to the terms and conditions for more details.

There will always be exclusions but we are up front about what these are and we will help you make an individual assessment about the level of risk they present in each home.

1. Issues related compliance with the building regulations and acts.
2. Anything below ground (footage, draining, soil conditions)
3. Anything concealed within the walls like insulation, plumbing and electric wiring.
4. Too high? Second story roofs can be inspected by prior arrangement.
5. Explanation of title or ownership matters, zonings (take from page)
