Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We assess site fall, surface drainage, downpipes and overflow points, plus signs of rising damp and moisture ingress. In Wonga Park South’s sloping blocks, poor stormwater control can drive subfloor damp, mould, flooring movement and long-term structural deterioration.
We look for cracking patterns, rotation/leaning in retaining walls, drainage relief and soil pressure indicators. Retaining issues can be expensive and may affect access, fences, driveways and the stability of nearby structures.
Where accessible, we inspect ventilation openings, clearance to ground, moisture staining and timber soundness. Leaf litter, blocked vents and damp soil can accelerate decay and create conditions that attract timber pests.
We check for visible damage, corrosion, loose tiles/metal sheets, flashing gaps and gutter fall/blockage indicators. In heavily treed streets, gutters can overflow and direct water onto fascias, eaves and internal ceilings.
We document internal cracking, ceiling movement, uneven floors and sticking doors/windows to help distinguish maintenance issues from possible movement or moisture-related defects. This gives you evidence for negotiations and a clearer repair plan.
We inspect bathrooms, laundries and kitchens for moisture indicators, silicone and grout failure, swelling to skirtings/architraves and poor ventilation. Water leaks are one of the most common high-cost surprises after purchase.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
In Wonga Park South we often see moisture management problems on sloping blocks, including poor stormwater discharge, blocked gutters from leaf litter, and damp subfloors where ventilation is limited. We also pay close attention to retaining walls and external paving, as movement or poor drainage can show up as cracking and uneven floors. Timber elements like decks and pergolas are assessed for decay risks.
Yes. During our pre-purchase inspection we assess visible retaining walls, steps, paths, driveways and outdoor structures that form part of the property presentation and can create costly repairs. We look for cracking, leaning, drainage issues and trip hazards, and we note how these items interact with stormwater flow. We’ll also explain limitations where areas are concealed or inaccessible at the time of inspection.
Where safe and accessible, we inspect the subfloor area, focusing on ventilation, moisture indicators, clearance to ground and timber condition. In homes on stumps or with underfloor storage, this step is particularly valuable because plumbing leaks, damp soil and blocked vents can go unnoticed during an open. If access is restricted, we document the limitation and highlight the risk it creates.
Leafy environments with mature trees, garden beds against the house and timber landscaping can increase termite risk because they provide moisture and food sources. During the inspection we look for conducive conditions such as timber-to-ground contact, high moisture areas, blocked subfloor vents and bridging of slab edges. We also note any visible damage or indicators that warrant further targeted investigation.
Use the report to prioritise defects that affect safety, structural performance and weatherproofing, then discuss implications with your conveyancer. If significant issues are identified, you can request repairs, negotiate the price, or consider additional specialist assessment (for example, drainage, roofing or structural engineering). We write findings clearly so you can reference them in emails to the agent and in contract discussions.
