    Common Cracks and Settlement in Pathways

    Cracking and uneven settlement in concrete footpaths, driveways, and porch slabs is one of the most frequently observed external defects in Perth homes, present in 11.66% of all reports. Most findings are minor and reflect the expected behaviour of unreinforced concrete slabs on reactive soils, though tree-root intrusion and poor drainage can accelerate movement to a point where trip hazards develop.

  • Curated 1–4/5
    Surface Rust on Pergola Frame

    Surface oxidation on steel pergola frames is one of the more frequent cosmetic findings in Perth pre-purchase reports, appearing in 11.19% of all inspections. Left untreated, surface rust progresses through the coating into the base metal, eventually compromising the structural integrity of posts and beams. Early intervention with surface treatment is straightforward; through-corrosion is not.

  • Curated 2–4/5
    Cracked Floor Tiles in Wet Areas

    Cracked, loose, or drummy floor tiles in bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens. Allows moisture penetration to the substrate, potentially compromising waterproof membrane integrity and causing concealed water damage.

  • Curated 1–3/5
    Damaged Eave Lining

    Damage to the underside lining of the eaves - including cracking, holes, gaps at junctions, and poorly cut penetrations around downpipes - is recorded in 8.78% of all inspection reports. Beyond the cosmetic concern, openings in eave lining allow birds, possums, and insects to access the roof cavity and can accelerate timber deterioration where moisture also enters.

  • Curated 1–3/5
    Eave Deterioration and Ageing

    General weathering and paint breakdown on eave linings, timber rafter ends, and quad trim is one of the most common findings on Perth homes built before 2000. Left unattended, deteriorated eaves allow moisture into the roof perimeter, accelerating rot in rafter ends and creating conducive conditions for timber pests.

  • Curated 1–3/5
    Defective Door Handles, Hinges, and Locks

    Malfunctioning or worn door hardware including loose handles, squeaking hinges, misaligned latches, and non-functioning locks. High-frequency defect across all building eras, typically cosmetic but can affect security and fire egress.
