Our findings, based on a smaller indicative sample of 14 reports, show common issues such as Undrained Air Conditioner Overflow, noted in 57.1% of reports, and External Wall Cracking due to Settlement, also in 57.1% of reports. We also frequently observe Trees in Close Proximity to Dwelling in 42.9% of inspections. Given the coastal sand over Tamala Limestone geology, our inspectors like Kim Steele pay close attention to slab-edge issues and moisture patterns. We thoroughly assess all accessible areas of the property, from the roof to the subfloor, to provide a comprehensive understanding of its condition.
