Premium Package Building & Pest Inspection in Burwood

We check for visible safety risks that could cause injury or indicate non-compliant work, such as trip hazards, unsafe access and obvious hazards around stairs, balconies and wet areas. This matters in Burwood where multi-stage renovations can leave inconsistent finishes and improvised fixes.

We inspect accessible areas for termite activity and timber pest evidence, and note conditions that increase risk, like subfloor moisture and timber-to-ground contact. Burwood’s mix of older timber elements and landscaped yards can create the conditions pests need if maintenance has slipped.

We conduct a visual-only survey to identify materials that commonly contain asbestos and flag areas that warrant further testing by a licensed specialist. This is particularly relevant for Burwood homes of mid-century vintage, where eaves, wall sheeting and wet-area linings may pre-date modern materials.

We check for visible mould growth and the moisture indicators that feed it, including ventilation issues and water entry points. In Burwood, rental histories, older bathrooms and poorly vented extensions can make mould a recurring problem, not just a surface clean-up.

We visually assess accessible electrical components for obvious defects, damage or unsafe presentation that may indicate poor workmanship. Burwood renovations sometimes involve piecemeal electrical upgrades, so a visual check can highlight where a licensed electrician should investigate further.

We take precise digital measurements of floor levels to identify unusual variations that can indicate movement, re-stumping inconsistencies or subfloor issues. This is valuable in Burwood where you may be comparing an original dwelling area to an extension built years later.

We confirm the presence and visible placement of smoke alarms as a safety check for occupants. In Burwood investment properties and renovated homes, this helps you identify obvious gaps before move-in or before leasing the property.

We perform electrical polarity testing to help detect potentially dangerous wiring issues at outlets. This is a practical add-on for Burwood homes with older switchboards or DIY-era modifications where wiring errors can be hard to spot visually.

We identify smaller defects like deteriorated seals, minor leaks, sticking doors/windows and early signs of damp that can escalate if ignored. In Burwood, these items often show up around older window frames, wet areas and external joinery after multiple renovation cycles.
