Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect gutters, downpipes, valleys and visible overflow areas for blockages, sagging, incorrect falls and poor discharge locations. These “small” drainage defects are common on leafy blocks and can drive dampness into eaves, fascia and wall cavities if ignored.
We look for gaps at windows/doors, failed sealants, unsealed service penetrations and early water staining. These details are frequent entry points for wind-driven rain and can lead to hidden timber decay or internal mould.
Where accessible, we check for signs of poor ventilation, damp soil, moisture staining, fungal growth and early timber deterioration. Catching these indicators early helps prevent floor squeaks, cupping boards and longer-term structural timber damage.
We assess silicone joints, grout condition, shower screens, puddling and visible water escape paths. Minor failures around showers and vanities are a common source of slow leaks that swell cabinetry and damage adjoining walls.
We document hairline cracking to plaster, brickwork and junctions, plus sticking doors or uneven gaps that can indicate early movement or moisture-related swelling. The report differentiates cosmetic issues from defects that warrant monitoring or further investigation.
We identify common minor defects from past works—missing flashings, poorly finished trims, inadequate falls to external paving, and patch repairs that don’t address the cause. This helps you avoid paying twice for the same problem.

We often find water-management issues first: gutters and downpipes affected by leaf debris, discharge points that saturate soil near the house, and small roof or flashing gaps. On larger blocks, garden beds and paving can sit too high against walls, keeping moisture trapped. We also see early wet-area sealant failures and small cracks at junctions that need monitoring.
Yes. A tidy presentation can still hide early-stage problems like minor roof leaks, damp subfloor conditions, or wet-area seepage that only shows subtle staining or swollen trims. This service is designed to pick up those “small” items before they affect framing, flooring or cabinetry. It’s particularly helpful after renovations, where finishing details and waterproofing junctions can be inconsistent.
Your report documents each defect with photos, location notes and a clear explanation of why it matters. We prioritise items based on the likelihood of escalation (especially moisture-related issues), safety concerns, and how quickly the defect could cause secondary damage. We also note practical next steps—whether it’s a maintenance fix, monitoring, or referral to a relevant trade for further assessment.
They do. On sloping sites, we pay close attention to where stormwater flows, whether downpipes discharge safely, and whether ground levels or paving direct water toward the house. We also look for signs of under-house dampness and ventilation limitations that can follow poor drainage. These are the sorts of minor defects that can quietly create bigger timber and flooring issues over time.
Yes—this service suits pre-purchase checks when you want a targeted view of minor defects that can add up quickly in repair costs. If you’re working to a tight timeline, call to discuss access and the property type so we can plan an efficient inspection. For broader risk coverage, we can also advise if a more comprehensive inspection would better match the home’s age and condition.
