Premium Package Inspection in Wantirna

We visually assess the key structural elements—subfloor, framing, roof space and load-bearing components—to identify signs of significant movement or failure. In Wantirna, this is critical where extensions, carports and enclosed verandahs have been added over time, as changes to loads and supports can show up as cracking, sagging or distorted openings.

We look for major defects that affect function and value, including roof covering issues, water entry points and failed building elements. Wantirna homes that have been renovated in stages can hide mismatched materials and workmanship, so we pay close attention to transitions between old and new sections where leaks and damage often start.

We identify visible safety hazards such as trip risks, unstable structures, unsafe access points and obvious compliance concerns. This matters in Wantirna where older outdoor steps, aging balustrades and DIY changes to sheds, pergolas or decking can create hazards that are easy to overlook during an inspection.

We inspect for evidence of termite activity and other timber pests, and we assess conditions that increase risk, like moisture, concealed timbers and poor ventilation. Wantirna’s established gardens, fencing lines and timber landscaping can create conducive zones, so we focus on perimeter hotspots, subfloors and any timber-to-ground contact.

We conduct a visual-only survey to identify materials that may contain asbestos, such as older eave linings, wall sheeting and wet-area substrates. In Wantirna, many homes built or renovated prior to modern asbestos restrictions can still contain suspect products, so we highlight likely locations and recommend next steps before any sanding, cutting or demolition.

We check for visible mould and conditions that support it, including ventilation issues, condensation points and moisture staining. Wantirna homes with older bathrooms, enclosed laundries or shaded rooms can trap humidity, so we look closely at wet areas, wardrobes on external walls and roof space ventilation indicators.

We visually review accessible electrical components for signs of age, damage, overheating or non-professional alterations. In Wantirna, older homes may have mixed-era wiring and piecemeal upgrades, so we flag warning signs that suggest the need for a licensed electrician to investigate further.

We take precise floor level measurements to map unevenness and identify patterns consistent with movement or settlement. This is particularly helpful in Wantirna where homes may have been re-stumped, built on sloping blocks, or had rooms added later—your report shows where floors dip, rise or twist and how severe it is.

We visually confirm the presence and placement of smoke detectors and note obvious gaps. For Wantirna purchasers, this is a practical check when buying an older home that’s been updated over time, as alarms are often missing in key locations or installed inconsistently after renovations.

We perform electrical polarity testing to identify potentially dangerous wiring faults that can’t be confirmed by sight alone. This is valuable in Wantirna where DIY light fittings, older outlets or quick renovation turnarounds can leave polarity issues that affect appliance safety and increase shock risk.

We report on smaller defects that can snowball into bigger repairs, such as deteriorated sealants, minor roof drainage issues and early timber decay. In Wantirna, these items often show up around older windows, wet areas and outdoor structures, and addressing them early can reduce moisture and pest attraction.
