7 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually assess the key structural elements that keep the home stable, including signs of significant movement, distortion or load issues. In Box Hill North, this is especially important where extensions meet original walls, as differential settlement can show up as stepped cracking, uneven floors or racking.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in Box Hill NorthWe look for major defects that affect performance and value, such as roof and guttering issues, water entry points, and significant deterioration of building elements. Box Hill North homes with recent cosmetic upgrades can hide older water damage, so we focus on the areas that usually reveal the true condition—roof space access points, wet areas and external drainage lines.

Box Hill North blocks with gardens, sleepers, decks and timber landscaping can create bridging and moisture conditions, so we pay close attention to perimeter timbers and subfloor airflow where accessible.

In Box Hill North, older homes that have been partially renovated can end up with mismatched steps, non-compliant handrails or DIY fixes that need immediate attention.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in Box Hill NorthWe conduct a visual-only survey to identify materials that may contain asbestos and flag where testing or specialist advice is sensible.
