Salt damp, structural issues and termite infestations are some of the most common issues our inspectors find in South Australian homes.

Salt damp

Salt damp occurs when moisture from the ground seeps up into a building's walls. It’s similar to rising damp, but is caused by salt in the ground. A significant issue in older stone homes, salt damp is prevalent in Adelaide and the surrounding areas.

Structural issues

Cracking in masonry is common across South Australia where soil conditions can create movement in foundations. This can result in cracks in stone and brick walls.

Termites

Termite infestations often go undetected until significant damage has occurred. Our inspectors commonly find termites in roof voids, subfloors and walls, particularly in homes in the Adelaide Hills and Riverland regions.

We service inner-city Adelaide and the outer suburbs, north up to Gawler and the surrounding area. Call us or request a quote online and our friendly team will let you know whether we can service your property.
