Structural Cracks

Structural Cracks can be visible or can lie beneath newly laid plaster and/or freshly painted areas. Damage like this can cost thousands to repair and if left unattended for a long period of time could require major renovations to repair.

Termites & Rising Damp

Two of the biggest problems as properties begin to age. Also two of the "unseen problems" that lie well below the surface. Rising Damp occurs due to poor ventilation, subsequently creating an environment ideal for termites to nest and breed in. This problem untreated will lead to major structural damage that could cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair.

Foundation Movement

 Foundation Movement is something that occurs naturally with the shifting of the earth beneath a house. Tiny hairline cracks in the mortar start off looking very innocent, but left untreated can develop into something far more sinister. Foundation movement has a number of consequences including walls totally collapsing, insulation problems and loose bricks falling from the damaged wall.

Roof Re-Pointing

Over the years mortar deteriorates and needs replacing. Without physically going up onto the roof you cannot determine what stage the deterioration is at nor can you determine what damage has been done already. Many years of experience allows us to confidently give you a full report on the deterioration status of the mortar in your prospective property.

Inside Roof Damage / Leaks

The inside of a leaking roof is a haven for termites to nest and cause damage to the structure. This is especially the case with supporting timbers. Leaking also causes insulation to rot which leads to the infestation of fungus and fungal bacteria. Damage to plasterboard may already be present, yet a simple coat of paint could temporarily cover this up. Only a thorough physical examination can determine if this kind of damage exists.
