Find House Defects Before They Become Your Cost
A house can have defects that are not obvious during an open home or quick walkthrough. Roof issues, cracks, moisture damage, drainage problems, subfloor concerns, external deterioration or poor workmanship may affect repair costs, safety and long-term property value.
A house building inspection gives you clearer information about the visible condition of the property before buying, selling, bidding, settling, renovating or planning repairs.
- Identify visible house defects and damage
- Check internal, external, roof and subfloor areas
