Termite and borer infestations, structural issues, moisture problems and salt damp are some of the most common issues our inspectors find in Western Australian homes.

Termites and borers

Subterranean termites and borers are widespread in Western Australia, particularly in Perth and regional areas. Our inspectors often find timber pests in roof and floor timbers, as well as unidentified pest entry points around the home.

Structural issues

Cracking in walls and foundations is common in Western Australia. Expansive clay soil is found across the state and can cause significant movement and cracking in brickwork and concrete slabs.

Moisture and 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. Caused by the sandy soil of coastal environments, salt damp is a frequent issue in Western Australia, particularly in older homes. Leaking roofs and waterproofing failures in bathrooms and laundries are also common across Western Australia, and can lead to significant water damage. 

We service Perth and the surrounding area, including south to Rockingham and Mandurah. Call us or request a quote online and our friendly team will let you know whether we can service your property.
