Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check for signs of movement such as sloping floors, cracking patterns, separation at skirtings and architraves, and subfloor support issues. In Kingsville’s older homes, restumping or partial repairs can leave uneven load paths, so we look for mismatched supports and areas that may need engineering review.
We inspect roof coverings (where accessible), flashings, valleys, gutters and downpipes for corrosion, damage, poor falls and overflow risk. Roof leaks often present as ceiling staining or mould rather than obvious dripping, so we connect internal signs with likely roof or drainage causes.
We assess wall straightness, cracking, deteriorated mortar, cladding damage, and moisture entry points around windows and penetrations. Renovated façades can hide older substrate issues, so we look for clues like patch repairs, inconsistent finishes, and movement around openings.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens are checked for swelling, loose tiles, grout failure, silicone breakdown and water damage to adjacent rooms. We note drainage and ventilation concerns because persistent moisture can lead to timber decay and hidden mould behind cabinets or wall linings.
Where safe access exists, we look for dampness, inadequate ventilation, timber deterioration, insulation issues and signs of vermin activity. We also identify hazards such as damaged supports, exposed wiring, or unsafe access points that can affect maintenance costs and safety.
Without performing invasive testing, we check accessible plumbing and electrical elements for visible issues such as leaks, corrosion, non-compliant-looking alterations, and safety risks. We highlight items that warrant a licensed electrician or plumber’s compliance check before settlement.

A Building Inspection in Kingsville covers accessible parts of the home including structure, walls, floors, roof and drainage, wet areas, and visible plumbing and electrical red flags. We look for defects, safety hazards and signs of movement or moisture. The inspection is visual and non-destructive, and the report explains what needs urgent attention versus what can be planned and budgeted.
They can be. Kingsville properties are often updated over time, and renovations can hide older defects or introduce new ones such as uneven transitions, poorly supported openings, or moisture issues trapped behind modern finishes. During the inspection, we look for indicators of structural changes, inconsistent materials, patched cracking, and workmanship concerns, then recommend targeted follow-up if something needs confirmation.
Yes, where access is safe and available. We inspect underfloor areas for dampness, ventilation, timber condition, and the state of stumps/bearers/joists, as well as signs of movement that can show up as sloping floors or door misalignment. If access is restricted or unsafe, we document the limitation and explain what a buyer should do next to reduce risk.
In Kingsville we often see issues linked to ageing roof materials, tired flashings, and gutters that don’t manage heavy rain well. Even small drainage defects can lead to ceiling staining, mould, and timber deterioration over time. We check roof drainage paths, gutter condition and downpipe discharge points, and we relate any internal water marks to likely external causes so repairs can be scoped accurately.
Book as soon as you’re serious about a property, ideally during the cooling-off period or before your finance and contract conditions lapse. That timing gives you the best chance to renegotiate, request repairs, or walk away if significant structural or safety issues are identified.
