7 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually assess signs of structural movement and load issues, including cracking patterns, unevenness and distress around openings. In Tally Ho, renovations and extensions can shift how loads are carried, so we pay close attention to where new work meets the original structure.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in Tally HoThis focuses on major defects that can lead to costly repairs, such as moisture entry, failed waterproofing indicators, roof-space issues (where accessible) and deteriorated building elements. Tally Ho homes with updated wet areas and older external shells can show mismatch issues like water tracking, poor drainage points or deteriorated seals.

Tally Ho (3150) properties commonly sit on gently sloping blocks and can include older homes with later additions, which makes junction points (old-to-new) important to check for cracking, flashing issues and moisture entry. Garages, subfloors (where accessible), wet areas and boundary-side gardens are also worth attention in this area because they can create the conditions where timber pests, mould and damp-related building defects show up first.

We inspect accessible areas for termite activity and timber pest evidence, including damage, workings and conducive conditions. In Tally Ho, garden beds, stored timber and moisture around wet areas can increase risk, so we look closely at timbers near the ground and any accessible subfloor or perimeter areas.
Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in Tally HoWe identify visible hazards that could pose immediate risk, such as trip hazards, unstable structures, inadequate guarding and other obvious safety concerns. For Tally Ho family homes, we often see issues around steps, decks, balconies and older outbuildings where maintenance can lag behind cosmetic updates.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in Tally HoWe visually identify materials that may contain asbestos based on age and appearance and note locations to treat with caution. Tally Ho still has homes where older eaves, wall linings or outbuilding sheeting may be present, so this check helps you plan renovations without accidental disturbance.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in Tally HoWe look for visible mould growth and moisture indicators that support mould, particularly in bathrooms, laundries, wardrobes and poorly ventilated spaces. In Tally Ho, mould frequently links back to shower recess failures, insufficient exhaust ventilation or water ingress around windows and older seals.
Learn more about Mould Presence in Tally HoWe conduct a visual-only electrical check for obvious issues such as damage, unsafe fittings or signs that warrant further investigation by a licensed electrician. In Tally Ho, older switchboards or DIY-looking alterations can still appear in otherwise updated homes, so this step helps flag items to follow up before settlement.
