When buying or selling your Perth home, a thorough building inspection can uncover any potential defects that may exist. Here are some common defects that building inspectors usually find that can help both buyers and sellers navigate the real estate market with confidence and peace of mind.
Structural issues
Structural issues refer to problems with the foundation, walls, ceilings, or floors of a property. Cracks in walls, uneven floors, or sagging ceilings can indicate underlying structural issues that could mean costly repairs. SURE Building Inspections Perth will carefully assess the structural integrity of your property to ensure it is safe for occupancy.
Water damage and plumbing problems
Leaking pipes, dampness in the walls or ceilings, or water stains can indicate issues with the plumbing system or water entering the property somewhere. Addressing plumbing issues promptly is essential to prevent major structural damage and mould growth.
Roofing and insulation concerns
Missing or damaged roof tiles, deteriorated flashing, or improper insulation can impact things like energy efficiency or the structural integrity of a property. Ensure you address these concerns promptly before they escalate into more significant problems.
Pest and termite infestations
Pest and termite infestations are common issues in Australian homes, particularly in regions like Perth with its warm climate. Termites, ants, rodents, or other pests can cause extensive damage to a property if they go unnoticed. SURE Building Inspections Perth will quickly detect signs of a pest infestation during our timber pest inspection to protect your property from future damage.
