Imagine the catastrophe of a roof collapse, the cost of extensive repairs, or the health risks from mould infestations. A home’s roof can conceal potential hazards that only a professional roof frame inspection can unearth.
What is a roof frame inspection?
These are detailed examinations conducted by a building inspector to assess the condition and durability of your roof frame. These inspections, guided by Australian Standard 1684.2 and the BCA, are vital in maintaining the lifespan of your building, ensuring that it can withstand the elements.
Inspectors meticulously examine every aspect of your roof such as ceiling joints, rafters, struts, beams and truss framing to detect signs of movement or damage (for existing properties), or to rectify any non-compliance issues during new home builds.
Hidden dangers that may lurk under your roof
- Distorted or sagging roof frame
- Surface level issues
- Visible leaks
- Structural damage
- Pest invasions
- Mould growth
Regular inspections aren’t just about maintaining appearances or increasing longevity, but also about ensuring safety and preventing problems before they become unmanageable.
