What our inspectors find in Berwick VIC
Across Berwick, handover inspections produce the longest lists, and most of the serious items sit in the roof and the wet areas. Frame visits turn up engineered connections that do not match the drawings. Pre-purchase and investigation jobs on older homes return to the roof space, the subfloor and water held against the walls.
At handover
Roof junction flashings missing, speed brace splices wrong, water stop angles short and debris left in drainage pipes.
At frame
Packers under girder trusses, undersized bolts, split posts and bottom plates hanging past the slab edge.
In wet areas before tiling
Membrane voids in niche corners, punctures in shower bases and missing bond breakers.
In established homes
Ducts into the roof space, uncapped chimneys, roof bracing never nailed off and gardens against the brick.
In investigations
Floors out of level, plaster cracking, mould from lasting damp and flues touching insulation.
