Premium Package Inspection in Tally Ho (3150) – $699

We visually assess the main structural elements for signs of movement and failure, including cracking patterns, roof frame indicators and load-bearing concerns. In Tally Ho, split-level layouts and past extensions can create stress points between old and new sections that need careful interpretation.

We check for major defects such as roof and gutter issues, water ingress pathways, subfloor ventilation problems and significant deterioration. Tally Ho properties with layered renovations can hide defects behind cladding, fresh paint or new finishes, so we focus on tell-tale symptoms and likely source points.

We identify visible hazards that can affect liveability, including trip risks, unsafe balustrades, damaged glazing, and obvious moisture-related slip areas. Many Tally Ho homes have updated outdoor entertaining areas, so we pay attention to decks, steps and transitions between levels.

We inspect accessible areas for termite activity, conditions conducive to attack, and timber pest damage. Tally Ho’s established gardens and timber landscaping can increase concealed bridging and moisture, so we look closely at fence lines, decking edges, subfloor timbers and any timber-to-ground contact.

Our visual asbestos survey flags building materials that commonly contain asbestos based on age, appearance and location, without destructive sampling. In Tally Ho, older wet-area linings, eaves, backing boards and external sheeting are worth checking before you plan any renovation or removal work.

We assess for visible mould and the moisture drivers behind it, including ventilation issues, bathroom and laundry humidity and subfloor dampness. In Tally Ho homes with updated interiors, mould can persist in corners, wardrobes and behind furniture where airflow is limited.

We visually review accessible electrical components for signs of deterioration, overheating, DIY modifications and unsuitable fittings. Tally Ho houses that have had piecemeal upgrades can show mixed-era cabling and switchgear, so we note visible compatibility and safety concerns.

We measure floor levels digitally to identify variations that can indicate movement, settlement or subfloor issues. This is especially useful in Tally Ho where you may encounter sloping sites, raised floors and transitions between original builds and later additions.

We visually confirm the presence and placement of smoke detectors to help you understand immediate safety gaps. In multi-level Tally Ho homes, placement matters—particularly near bedrooms and along typical exit paths—so we note what’s missing or poorly positioned.

We perform electrical polarity testing to detect reversed polarity and related hazards at accessible outlets. For Tally Ho properties with older wiring or recent DIY-style updates, this test helps uncover risks that aren’t obvious during a visual-only check.

We document smaller defects that commonly become larger repair bills, like deteriorated sealants, minor leaks, sticking doors, inadequate drainage falls and early timber decay. In Tally Ho, these often show up around older windows, wet areas and external paving near the home.
