      While minor defects may not pose immediate risks, they can lead to larger issues if left unaddressed. Common minor defects include:

      • Peeling paint
      • Loose tiles
      • Minor plumbing leaks

      These issues can indicate a lack of maintenance or potential future problems. Our Minor Property Defects service will help you stay on top of these concerns.

      3. Electrical Safety Hazards

      Electrical issues are a significant safety concern in Australian homes. Common findings include:

      • Outdated wiring
      • Overloaded circuits
      • Improperly installed outlets

      It’s vital to ensure your electrical systems are safe and compliant. Our Electrical Safety Assessment and Electrical Visual Inspection services can help identify any hazards.

      4. Mould Presence

      Mould can lead to serious health issues and structural damage if not treated promptly. It often thrives in damp areas and can be indicative of poor ventilation or leaks. Our Mould Presence inspection service will help detect and address any mould issues in your property.

      5. Pest Infestations

      Pest problems can escalate quickly and lead to significant property damage. Common pests include termites, rodents, and ants. It's essential to have regular inspections to catch infestations early. Our Pest Inspection Melbourne service is designed to protect your investment by identifying pest problems before they become severe.

      6. Safety Hazards

      Safety hazards can pose risks to occupants. Common issues include:

      • Inadequate smoke detectors
      • Unsafe stairways
      • Poorly maintained outdoor areas

      We offer a comprehensive Safety Hazards assessment to ensure your property is safe for all occupants.

      Conclusion

      Understanding these common issues found during building inspections in Melbourne can empower property owners to make informed decisions. The Australian Institute of Architects states that a significant percentage of homes experience some form of defect. Therefore, regular inspections are not just recommended but essential.
