Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check for stepped cracking in brickwork, slab edge issues, out-of-level floors, and separation around windows/doors. Where accessible, we assess subfloor supports, bearers/joists, stumps and signs of moisture that can contribute to structural movement.
We inspect roof cladding condition, flashings, valleys, gutters and downpipes, plus roof framing where accessible. This targets major defect risks like active leaks, sagging, spread in rafters, and water entry points that can lead to rot and ceiling collapse.
We examine external and internal walls for cracking patterns, bulging, damp staining, and compromised lintels. In brick veneer homes common around Noble Park North, we also look for veneer separation, deteriorated mortar, and articulation joint failure.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens are assessed for moisture-related damage indicators such as swollen skirtings, drummy tiles, mould, and leaking fixtures. We focus on defects that can affect framing and flooring, not just cosmetic surface issues.
We look for signs of ongoing leaks, poor stormwater discharge, and water pooling that can undermine foundations. In Noble Park North properties with older plumbing upgrades, we also note visible non-compliant connections and deterioration that can drive major water damage.
While not a substitute for an electrician’s test, we identify visible electrical hazards and compliance red flags such as damaged cabling, unsafe switchboard indicators, inappropriate DIY alterations, and moisture risks near electrical points that can create a serious safety issue.

In Noble Park North, we often see movement-related cracking in brick veneer walls, roof leak damage around flashings and valleys, and moisture problems in renovated wet areas. Properties with later extensions can also show differential movement where new work meets the original structure. Drainage that discharges near the house can worsen slab edge moisture and contribute to ongoing cracking and internal dampness.
Yes. Our inspection focuses on major defects and safety hazards across the building fabric and key systems. We assess visible signs of foundation movement, roof structure and coverings, internal and external walls, and moisture indicators linked to plumbing. We also note visible electrical safety and compliance red flags. If we find high-risk items, we’ll recommend the right specialist follow-up, such as a plumber, electrician or structural engineer.
We can. Renovations can conceal problems like moisture damage, inadequate ventilation, or structural alterations. During the inspection we look for indirect indicators—crack patterns, uneven levels, staining, tile movement, swelling to joinery, and roof-space clues where accessible. We’ll also note areas where access is restricted and explain what further checks may be worthwhile before you commit to the purchase or start works.
They can be. Many Noble Park North homes have had carports, pergolas, enclosed patios or room additions added at different times. These areas are prone to roof-to-wall junction leaks, inadequate stormwater management, and movement where the addition is founded differently to the original house. We pay close attention to connection points, flashing details, posts/footings, and any cracking that suggests the structures are not moving together.
We’ll explain the defect, why it matters, and the likely consequences if it’s left unresolved. You’ll receive documented evidence (including photos) and clear guidance on urgency—what needs immediate attention versus what can be monitored. Where a defect needs confirmation or design advice, we’ll recommend the appropriate next step, such as an engineer’s assessment, leak investigation, or electrical/plumbing compliance testing.
