Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check for signs of movement such as step-cracking, rippling floors, sloping or bounce, and gaps around skirtings and architraves. Where accessible, we inspect stumps/bearers or slab edges to identify moisture impacts and areas that may need re-levelling or engineering advice.
We inspect roof cladding, ridge capping, valleys, flashings and penetrations, then review the roof space for evidence of leaks, water staining, mould, sagging rafters/trusses and inadequate ventilation. This helps you understand the likelihood of near-term roof repairs versus isolated maintenance.
We look for cracking patterns, deteriorated mortar, failed sealants, window frame swelling and gaps that allow water ingress. Particular attention is given to junctions around balconies, decks, and modified openings where poor detailing can lead to hidden rot or internal wall damage.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens are assessed for shower leaks, loose tiles, deteriorated grout/silicone, swollen skirtings, and cabinet base damage. These are common high-cost defect zones because water can travel behind wall linings and under floors before it becomes obvious.
We assess how surface water flows around the home, including the condition and placement of gutters, downpipes and visible stormwater connections. Poor fall away from the building or downpipes discharging at the base of walls can contribute to damp subfloors, slab edge moisture and cracking.
We visually check readily accessible plumbing and electrical items for visible hazards and non-compliant indicators, such as damaged wiring, unsafe switches, DIY alterations, and inadequate wet-area safety features. Where specialist testing is required, we clearly recommend the right trade follow-up.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
In Mooroolbark Station Estate we often see defects linked to moisture management and past renovations—leaking wet areas, ageing roof coverings or flashings, and drainage that directs water toward the building. We also check for movement indicators such as cracking and uneven floors, plus safety hazards like DIY electrical changes. Your report explains the likely cause, urgency and practical next steps.
Yes. A Building Inspection is designed to assess the property’s structure and visible defects across key elements: foundations/floor support, roof and roof space, internal and external walls, and accessible wet areas. We also make visual observations of plumbing and electrical for visible hazards and compliance red flags. Where specialised testing is needed, we recommend the appropriate licensed trade follow-up.
We inspect the roof space and subfloor where safe access is available and conditions allow. Roof spaces can reveal leaks, framing issues and ventilation problems, while subfloors can show dampness, timber deterioration and support issues. If access is restricted (low clearance, stored items, unsafe entry), we document the limitation and explain what it may mean, including recommended next steps.
Renovations and extensions can introduce defects where new work joins old work—such as uneven floors at transition points, altered load paths from removed walls, and waterproofing failures in upgraded bathrooms. Outdoor additions like decks, pergolas and carports can also create water-trap areas against walls. We focus on these junctions and finishes to highlight workmanship issues and areas that may require compliance checks.
Book as soon as your contract conditions allow, ideally before finalising your cooling-off or finance timelines. This gives you time to review the report, ask questions, and obtain quotes for any significant defects found. If you’re purchasing in Mooroolbark Station Estate (3138), early booking also helps you compare multiple properties quickly and avoid committing to a home with costly hidden issues.
