Local Knowledge Matters

As a Glenorchy building inspector, I regularly see the same types of issues across properties in the area.
These can include:
Subfloor dampness in older homes
Drainage limitations and water flow toward structures
Movement in retaining walls and sloping blocks
Roof deterioration and ageing materials
Moisture-related issues in bathrooms and wet areas
Decks and extensions that may not meet current standards
These are not always obvious during a walkthrough, but they can become costly if missed.
Each building inspection in Glenorchy TAS is carried out with these common local factors in mind.
