Common Issues Found During Comprehensive Pre-Purchase Inspections
- Roofing Problems: Issues with the roof can include missing, damaged, or loose shingles, signs of wear around chimneys, vents, and skylights, and evidence of water damage or leakage.
- Plumbing Issues: Common plumbing problems include leaks under sinks or around toilets and fixtures, corroded pipes, low water pressure, and improperly vented drains.
- Foundation and Structural Issues: Cracks in walls and ceilings can indicate foundation problems such as settlement cracks or more serious structural issues like uneven floors or walls that are out of plumb.
- Moisture and Mould: High levels of moisture can lead to mould growth which can be hazardous to health.
- Timber Pests: Inspections are done to identify timber pests that can damage wooden structures or buildings, such as termites or wood borers, or to identify any signs of wood rot.
These issues are often critical because they can significantly impact the safety, livability, and resale value of the property.
