Basic Package Inspection in Kilsyth (3137) – $650

We visually inspect key structural elements for signs of movement and structural distress, including cracking patterns, sagging, and deformation. In Kilsyth, shifting soils, cut-and-fill blocks and retaining walls can influence movement, so we focus on indicators that suggest more than normal settlement.

We check for major defects that affect livability and value, such as failed waterproofing details, significant water entry points, and deteriorated building elements. Kilsyth’s mix of older homes and renovations means we pay close attention to transitions between old and new work, where leaks and poor workmanship often show up first.

We inspect accessible areas for evidence of termites and timber pests, and for conditions that increase risk, such as damp timbers and concealed entry points. With plenty of established vegetation and timber fencing common in Kilsyth, we also note environmental factors around the home that can support termite activity.

We identify visible safety hazards such as trip risks, unsafe stairs/handrails, and other immediate issues that could injure occupants or visitors. In Kilsyth properties with split-level designs and external steps on sloped sites, these hazards can be easy to miss during a quick walkthrough.

We visually assess accessible areas for materials that may contain asbestos, such as older eaves, wall linings, wet area sheeting and external cladding. Kilsyth has many homes from eras where asbestos-containing products were commonly used, so this check helps you plan renovations and trades safely.

We look for visible mould and moisture indicators and note likely contributing factors, such as poor ventilation or water ingress. In Kilsyth, shaded elevations, enclosed subfloors and older bathrooms can create persistent damp zones that allow mould to reappear after cosmetic cleaning.

We complete a visual-only check of accessible electrical components for obvious defects and safety concerns. In Kilsyth, where older switchboards and DIY alterations can still be present, this assessment helps flag red flags to discuss with a licensed electrician before settlement.
