Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect accessible subfloor areas and around the perimeter for cracking patterns, unevenness, stump deterioration, and signs of footing movement. On Wonga Park South’s sloping blocks, small movement can translate into door misalignment, floor bounce and ongoing plaster cracking, so we document indicators and likely drivers such as drainage or soil moisture variation.
We look for poor falls, blocked or undersized downpipes, overflow risks, ponding near the slab, and damp staining in lower rooms. Water management is critical on larger lots and hillside settings, so we flag drainage defects that can lead to rot, mould, corrosion or foundation instability.
We check visible roof elements for rust, slipped tiles, cracked bedding, damaged valleys, and ineffective flashings around penetrations. We also assess gutters and downpipes for leaks and capacity. Roof defects are a common source of hidden ceiling damage, insulation wetting and electrical safety concerns.
We inspect brickwork, weatherboards and rendered finishes for cracking, bulging, decay and moisture-related damage. We pay close attention to window and door frames, weep holes and sealants where water ingress often starts, particularly on exposed elevations and older joinery.
Inside the home we assess accessible areas for settlement indicators, sagging ceilings, wall cracking, wet-area leaks, and trip or fall hazards. We also note issues like missing safety glass where required, unstable balustrades or handrails, and signs of concealed moisture around bathrooms and laundries.
While a building inspection isn’t a substitute for a dedicated electrician or plumber, we check for visible red flags such as unsafe DIY modifications, deteriorated fittings, water hammer signs, and moisture risks near electrical components. We highlight compliance concerns so you can follow up with specialist testing before settlement.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
A Building Inspection in Wonga Park South covers the accessible parts of the structure and property, including roof exterior (where visible), gutters, walls, floors, subfloor or roof void access when available, wet areas, windows and doors, and visible plumbing and electrical concerns. We focus on defects, safety hazards and signs of movement or moisture. The report explains the issue, likely cause and recommended next steps.
They can be. Sloping blocks often rely on retaining, drainage control and stable footings to manage water and soil movement. If stormwater isn’t directed away properly, moisture changes can contribute to cracking, sticking doors and uneven floors. During the inspection, we look for movement indicators, drainage faults and retaining wall concerns, then explain what’s likely maintenance versus what warrants further engineering advice.
Yes—where they’re part of the property and accessible. We check retaining walls for leaning, cracking, drainage weep holes and signs of soil pressure. For decks and verandahs, we assess structural adequacy indicators such as post condition, ledger attachment, corrosion, rot and handrail stability. These elements can be expensive to rectify, so we document defects and safety hazards clearly for informed negotiation.
Often, yes. Older homes that have been extended can show issues where the new work meets the original structure, including differential movement, water ingress at junctions, roof tie-in problems and uneven floor transitions. We pay close attention to these connection points, look for workmanship defects and compliance red flags, and outline any signs that further specialist checks may be sensible before you proceed.
