Vermont homes often mix older brick veneer and renovated interiors—this package targets the common “looks fine” issues: movement, hidden leaks, termite activity, legacy asbestos and DIY electrical risks before you commit.
7 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually assess signs of significant structural movement such as pronounced cracking, distortion, or unevenness that may indicate footing or framing issues. In Vermont, older homes with later extensions can show movement at join lines, which is important to identify before you price in renovations or repairs.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in VermontWe look for major defects that can affect the function and value of the home, including roof and gutter issues, water ingress indicators, and defective building elements. Vermont properties with updated bathrooms and kitchens can hide leak pathways behind new finishes, so we focus on the tell-tale visual clues that point to bigger problems.
Learn more about Major Building Defects in VermontIf you’re buying in Vermont, you’re likely weighing up established family homes, units, and renovated properties where the big risks aren’t always obvious at the open. The Basic Package focuses on the issues that can change your budget quickly: structural movement, major building defects, timber pests, safety hazards, visible asbestos, mould and electrical red flags. For $650, we combine a visual assessment of major structural defects with checks for major building defects, termite and timber pest activity, safety hazards, mould presence, a visual asbestos survey, and an electrical visual inspection. These services work together—moisture-related defects can drive mould, timber pests and electrical safety issues, while movement can show up as cracking, sticking doors and uneven floors.

You’ll get clear, prioritised findings you can use in negotiations, maintenance planning, or to decide whether the property is worth further specialist investigation.

Vermont (3133) has a wide mix of post-war builds, later infill development and renovated homes, so it’s common to see a blend of original materials alongside newer extensions. That combination can bring risks like differential movement where old and new parts meet, moisture ingress around updated wet areas, and legacy materials such as asbestos-containing sheeting in older sections. Tree presence and garden beds close to walls can also influence drainage and subfloor conditions, which can feed timber pest activity and mould if ventilation and moisture control aren’t right.

We inspect accessible areas for evidence of termites and other timber pests, including mudding, damage, and conducive conditions like excessive moisture and timber-to-ground contact. In leafy Vermont streets, gardens, retaining edges and stored timber can create pathways and moisture zones that attract timber pests.
Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in VermontWe identify visible safety hazards that could pose immediate risk, such as trip hazards, unsafe access points, or damaged components that could fail. This matters in Vermont homes that have been partly renovated or modified over time, where older stairs, balustrades, and external paths may not match current expectations.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in VermontWe visually identify materials that commonly contain asbestos and note where they appear likely, based on age and product type. Vermont has many homes from eras where asbestos products were widely used; knowing what looks suspect helps you plan safe renovation steps and avoid disturbing hazardous materials.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in VermontWe check for visible mould and conditions that support it, including ventilation issues and signs of persistent dampness. In Vermont, bathrooms, laundries, and shaded areas can hold moisture longer—mould findings often align with leak indicators and poor airflow.
Learn more about Mould Presence in VermontWe conduct a visual-only check for obvious electrical concerns such as dated switchboards, unsafe cabling indicators, or poor-quality DIY alterations. Older Vermont homes and renovations can involve mixed wiring eras, so spotting visual red flags early helps you plan for a licensed electrician assessment where needed.
