We know exactly what to look for

We have been in the building industry for over 20 years and use that experience to investigate where defects are likely to develop

Inspections SA undertake a thorough inspection of the property, looking at everything from the outside paths to the roof, and everything in between.

The report helps people get a better understanding of any issues in the property they are purchasing – whether it’s their first home, dream home or an investment property.

Benefits of a Building Inspection

It can be easy to fall in love with a property.  Curb appeal, great storage, the right amount of bedrooms and entertaining spaces – all make a property enticing – but they’re not the only things to consider.

A thorough building inspection looks underneath the styled façade and examines the structural integrity of a home.

  • Avoid an investment that will drain your savings.

  • Choosing poorly can end up costing more than you first thought. On top of mortgage payments, you could have a property that requires major costly repairs.

  • A Building Inspection provides you with a written report and photos of any problem areas – it will highlight structural issues, dampness, safety hazards, even building code violations.

  • Get extra negotiating power.

  • Using the expert findings on required repairs could make a difference to the sale price in your contract of sale.

Common issues found during building inspections

  • STRUCTURAL DEFECTS
    Leaks, problems in the roof, plumbing, ventilation problems, damage to rafters, joists, foundations, walls and everything in between.

  • ROOF DAMAGE
    Roofs can have problems that are not easily visible and lead to huge repair bills and damage from leaks.

  • DRAINAGE
    The land the house is located on can be at risk of water damage, and may create foundation damage due to grading and drainage problems.

  • PLUMBING
    Old, weak or poorly repaired or installed pipes and damaged fixtures.

  • VENTILATION
    Reduced air flow and retaining structurally-damaging moisture, water damage and mould.
