Basic Package Building & Pest Inspection in Hampton Park

We visually assess signs of structural movement and stress, including cracking patterns, uneven floors, door and window binding, and separation around extensions. In Hampton Park, additions like enclosed alfresco areas and converted garages can show movement at junction points, so we pay close attention to those transitions.

We identify major defects that affect function, durability and value—such as roof drainage problems, deteriorated external cladding, and moisture entry points. In Hampton Park’s mix of established and renovated homes, defects often show up where new work meets older work, including flashing, guttering and weep holes.

We inspect accessible areas for evidence of termite activity and other timber pests, and we look for conditions that increase risk such as high moisture, timber-to-ground contact and poor subfloor ventilation. Hampton Park gardens, fences and stored timber can create bridging points, so we check likely entry pathways and vulnerable timbers.

We look for common safety hazards such as trip points, unstable handrails, unsafe stairs, deteriorated roofing access points, and other issues that can pose immediate risk. In Hampton Park family homes, we often see hazards around rear yards, pergolas and external steps, so we include those areas in the visual assessment where accessible.

Our visual asbestos survey identifies materials that look consistent with asbestos-containing products (for example, older cement sheeting in eaves, wet areas, or outbuildings). Many Hampton Park homes include older sheds or original linings, so this check helps you plan safe handling and seek further testing if needed.

We visually check for mould and the moisture conditions that support it, including poor ventilation, leaks, and condensation-prone areas. In Hampton Park, mould commonly appears in bathrooms, laundries and around window frames, particularly where exhaust fans or drainage haven’t kept up with renovations.

We carry out a visual-only electrical assessment of accessible components, looking for obvious defects such as damaged fittings, unsafe DIY alterations, or signs of overheating at visible points. In Hampton Park, homes with DIY upgrades or older switchboards benefit from this check to highlight items that may need a licensed electrician’s follow-up.
