If you are thinking of purchasing a new home or
selling the old one, it's important to have a
building inspection. The reason is, on the
surface, a building can look amazing but
underneath the structure, the story may be
different. There have been cases of a house
inspections in Melbourne wherein the inspector
found many issues despite the good appearance of
a building. This is why it is very crucial to
conduct a building and pest inspection before
purchasing any residential or commercial
building.

Here are a few common issues found during the
inspection of the building which showcases the
importance of building inspection. Substandard
Construction It common to see poor or
incomplete construction in many homes. The low
quality work can be observed in multiple ways
but the most common ones are poor drainage
system with broken or incomplete gutter
construction, misalignment of downpipes, illegal
home extension and many more. These substandard
constructions over time prove to be hefty and
raise many financial concerns. Poorly Managed
Roof and Gutters The harsh environmental
condition favour roof and gutter damage. As a
result of this, the roof faces problem like
chipping off, mould, leaks and more. If the roof
is damaged it causes water and pest to easily
penetrate into the interior of the house causing
further harm. The same happens with the gutter
if they are not properly maintained or
constructed poorly. The reason is over the time
debris, mould and plant growth block the gutter
impacting the flow of water.

This cause accumulation of water on the roof
impacting the building structure and leading to
the problem of seepage. Therefore, you will find
that people go for regular building and pest
inspection in Melbourne to maintain their
property. Cracking or Movement of Building
Structure There exist a number of factors which
affects the structure of a building leading to
cracking and movement. These factors are not
noticeable immediately instead they build up
over a long period and become visible only when
a building is damaged drastically. This includes
damage like low-quality slab construction,
moisture penetration, poor brickwork, damaged
brick pointing, tree roots and more. A regular
building inspection can help in detecting these
issues before they become severe. Thus, reducing
the damage to the structure significantly which
otherwise could burn a hole in your
pocket. Faulty Electrical Connections The
latest Australian standard requires strict
electrical fittings and connections.

However, still, there exist many houses which
follow the old fitting and wiring according to
the old rules and regulations.
With the advent of the digital age, the
dependency on electricity has increased to a lot
extent. Therefore, it is important that
wiring and all other electrical fittings should
meet the latest standards for complete safety.
