BUILDING AND PEST INSPECTION ACACIA RIDGE 4110
When we say we inspect every aspect of a property so you have the most thorough building and pest inspection available here is some proof.
Our client requested a building and pest inspection for a property at Acacia Ridge they wished to buy.
Whilst our pest inspector was checking the grounds and home for pests such as termites, our building inspector was navigating the roof and roof cavity. With the stinking hot weather and high humidity, it was not one of the coolest places to be. But he had a client who needed a quality inspection and he was determined to deliver on that.
Here’s what he discovered. The roof had evidence of a lack of maintenance. The mortar between the roof ridge tiles was loose, broken, or missing. Roof ridge tiles help to secure the roof tiles and when sealed with mortar protect against water and dust. With so much mortar in a depleted state, it was ripe for water and dust to penetrate the roof cavity.
What did our building inspector find in the roof cavity? Water leaks and dust. Water leaking onto dust can become a petrie dish to develop mould. Any time there’s a constant dripping of water on timber this can lead to it losing its structural integrity. After all, the timber supports are carrying a huge weight load.
This is a good example of what a thorough building and pest inspection can reveal.
