Prime Patch Property Inspections check for building defects including but not limited too:

• Damaged plumbing in roof
• Leaks in the roof itself
• Cracks in the building’s structure or compromised timber framing
• Leaking showers and generally wet areas.
• Moisture problems i.e rising damp/penetrating damp
• Issues with the footings of the building
• External drainage issue or concerns over proper storm water draining
• Water hammer or lack of water pressure
• General structural risks posing safety hazards such as collapsing balconies
• Possible Fire Hazards
• Water heater condition and age as there are potentially serious consequences if a failure occurs & costs for replacement if required

During our inspection of the building we check:

• Exterior of roof
• Interior of roof
• Exterior of building
• Interior of building
• Sub-floor
• The general area of the site which includes up to one outbuilding e.g. garage or granny flat

Period homes often have the attic space converted into an additional room. Anytime work is done on a property it is worth getting a building inspection done to be sure that the work has been completed to a high standard and is safe to use.

Building Inspection Reports

Our inspection reports contain clear images with a summary of notable issues. Our report enables you to easily digest the info about potential problems and existing problems.

In your report you will find a general outlook of your property relative to properties that are similar in location or construction.

The building inspection report can be made available on the same day as the inspection if required, our normal turn around time for reports is withing 24 hours of the inspection.
