Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We assess signs of movement such as stepped brick cracking, racked door frames, uneven flooring and separation at cornices. We also review site drainage and ground levels around the home because poor fall away from the building can contribute to moisture and foundation issues.
We inspect roof cladding condition, ridge capping, valleys, flashing terminations, guttering and downpipe connections. These areas are common leak entry points and can lead to ceiling damage, mould and timber deterioration if left unresolved.
Where there is a subfloor space, we check for ventilation, dampness, timber condition and any evidence of water pooling. Poor subfloor conditions can cause structural timber decay and persistent musty odours that are expensive to rectify.
We look for swelling to skirtings, drummy tiles, deteriorated grout/silicone, moisture staining and inadequate falls to floor wastes (where visible). Wet area defects can indicate failed waterproofing and can escalate quickly once cabinetry and finishes are affected.
We identify visible safety concerns such as damaged electrical fittings, non-compliant DIY alterations, leaking pipework, poor hot water installation clearances and inadequate overflow provisions (where observable). We note when a licensed electrician or plumber should further assess.
We check for leaning or cracked retaining walls, trip hazards from lifted paving, and stormwater discharge issues. External defects often drive internal problems by directing water toward the home or allowing moisture to track into walls and slab edges.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
A proper building inspection goes beyond surface presentation. In Eumemmerring, we assess structural indicators like cracking and floor levels, roof and drainage performance, moisture risks in wet areas, and safety hazards that aren’t obvious during an open home. We document defects with photos and explain likely causes and next steps, including when specialist testing is recommended.
Renovations can be excellent, but they can also hide problems. We often see issues concealed by fresh paint, new tiles or newly lined walls—such as moisture damage, inadequate waterproofing, or poor workmanship around openings and flashings. A building inspection helps identify warning signs and highlights areas where you may need a plumber, electrician or engineer to confirm compliance and safety.
We look for visible and measurable indicators of movement, including crack patterns, gaps at junctions, misaligned doors/windows and uneven floors. Where subfloors are accessible, we also assess supports and ventilation. While a building inspection is not an engineering certification, it’s an effective way to detect red flags early and recommend further assessment if needed.
We frequently focus on guttering, downpipe connections and overflow paths, because poor drainage can send water toward eaves and wall cavities. Roof leaks often start at flashings, valleys and penetrations, then show up later as ceiling staining or mould. We check these likely leak points and note defects that can cause recurring water ingress and internal damage.
Book as soon as you’re seriously considering a property, ideally during the cooling-off period or with a contract condition that allows inspections. This timing gives you room to review the report, obtain repair quotes and negotiate if significant defects are found. If access is limited, we can advise what can be assessed safely and what may require follow-up inspections.
