20.01.2022 We often get asked why people should get a building inspection, here are few key reasons why building inspection could save you thousands !!!! https://www.realestate.com.au//5-reasons-a-pre-purchase-b/

18.01.2022 For anyone that questions the need for expansion joints in tiles. While exploding tiles to the the extreme , cracking and tenting tiles is more common than you might think. https://www.facebook.com/447700241997834/posts/2476805039087334/?sfnsn=mo&d=n&vh=i

17.01.2022 Because nothing beats word of mouth and a good referral. #buildinginspections #caloundra #investmentproperty #pug

17.01.2022 Cracking to concrete or brick piers is more common than you might think. We often report on problems such as this in our reports. Cracking piers can be from a multiple reasons but most common is corrosion of the steel reinforcing when it is too close to the external surface . Rust and corrosion has a much greater volume than the original steel and pushes outwards causing the concrete to crack. Once the concrete has cracked more air and moisture is then able to enter the pier... and progress the corrosion even further. We will most likely recommend a structural engineer or specialist in the field for advice moving forward in possible repair or most likely replacement of the piers. Most issues we flag in our reports are not always a cause for alarm or concern and are common problems with age or certain era building practices. Most problems can be easily overcome with the correct trades and advice. #gympie #sunshinecoast #concretepiers #engineer #buildinginspection

17.01.2022 Living in Coastal areas such as the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast there is fair chance your roof will be affected by rust or corrosion caused by fine particles of sea salt, usually formed by the evaporation of sea spray. This creates a salt haze that drifts inland on the winds and settles on roofing structures. The salt haze over time corrodes your roofing screws, causing them to rust and weaken. Once corrosion starts the screws will need to be monitored closely or replaced. C...orrosion of roofing screws can also result from acids carried through the air from industry and chemical spraying, U.V. from the sun, or humidity in tropical or moist areas. Roofing screws are often overlooked as a minor and some building inspection companies fail to report on these all together until it is too late, and the rust has progressed, and the roofing iron must be replaced! Corrosion progresses on the head of the screw and the rubber washers perish overtime. Rust and corrosion run down off the head of the rusty screw and develops a contact to the roof cladding. Overtime the corrosion progresses to cancerous state and penetrates the metal cladding allowing rainwater to ingress into ceiling space causing damage to timbers, plasterboard, insulation, electrical and even cabinetry or flooring below. Its great practice to have your roof inspected annually if you are withing 1km of salt water or around every 5 years outwards of this. We have seen 3-year-old homes with corrosion bad enough to cause substantial internal damage and No, Insurance will not cover damages to your dwelling caused by a lack of maintenance. Regular Inspections will ensure that you keep on top of the problem to avoid your roofing iron from being affected by rusty screws. After all, replacing rusty screws is a lot cheaper than replacing roof sheets. When engaging a building inspector for pre-purchase building inspection, make sure you are aware of the condition of the roofing screws, and keep in mind the corrosion process, because what might not be seen as a problem at the time of purchase can become a significant cost if not rectified. If you are made aware of any corrosion to metal roof fixings at the time of your pre purchase building inspection you will have the option of getting the screws replaced, which is a lot more cost effective than replacing the whole roof.

16.01.2022 Perfect conditions around the south east at the moment . Early mornings late afternoon you may notice these termite Alates around your dwelling. Alates make there colonising flight from a nearby termite nest , once landed they drop their wings and search for a mate and new location to start a new colony. It can take up to 3 years for a termite colony to build up significant numbers to cause damage to a dwelling. If you have seen Alates around your dwelling it’s a great reminder to keep up your inspections and minimise risk to you me greatest asset. #alates #dealates #termite #buildinginspection #sunshinecoast #aura #littlemountain

16.01.2022 With increase in land sales this also means an increase in new construction. This is great for our local builders in South east east Queensland . Keep in mind , added pressure to get jobs done on time can lead to more defects on completion of your new home. If you are unsure whats an acceptable standard of finish on your new home, why not get a professional to complete a handover inspection or practical completion inspection on you biggest insvestmemt.

14.01.2022 Virtual reality helping you get the feel of your new home before its even built . Is this the way of the future? Pretty cool stuff. Just remember to to get quality report or handover inspection before that final payment.

14.01.2022 No problem here??? On closer inspection this vent pipe has no sealant around the flashing. During rainfall water has ingressed into the roof void damaging the plasterboard ceiling lining. This is a 14 year old home and has gone undetected since construction. We find the problems others overlook . #helpingyoubuybetter #burbengary #sunshinecoast #realestate #forsale #buildingandpest #buildinginspection @ Burpengary, Queensland

14.01.2022 Another example of why regular Inspections are so important. Tiled balconies with encapsulated structural timber are a prime design for waterproofing failure resulting in long term damage in the form of wood decay. Add in some borer damage or have carpenter ants move in and you have a 2 story balcony ready for catastrophic failure . To the naked eye this hidden damage is totally undetectable.

11.01.2022 One of the most overlooked defects on homes today is corrosion to aluminium door or window frames. Also known as white rust. Did you know the right conditions and moisture can eat aluminium??? https://buildingconnection.com.au//how-to-prevent-alumini/

10.01.2022 A Failed waterproofing membrane isnt the only moisture causing defect to shower recess , penetrations that have been insufficiently installed and faulty taps can also be a hidden source of moisture . Here we have found the culprit of a moisture problem in a shower recess . Whilst a moisture metre identified a problem area, our thermal imaging camera has pin pointed the tap to be leaking internally. The owners totally unaware .

10.01.2022 Termites unfortunately are not the only timber pest to attack your home!! The damage caused by the Queensland pine beetle can sure ruin your day also . The timber can get so honeycombed that it loses all integrity and breaks right through. #gympie #sunshinecoast #borerdamage #queenslandpinebeetle #buildinginspection

10.01.2022 The Australian cockroach (Periplaneta australasiae). Most Recognisable due to its GT stripes. Dispute his name the Australian cockroach originated from Africa . The end of winter fast approaching and with the warmer weather you expect to see more of these little buggers getting around . Ask us how you can keep your home cockroach free this spring.

09.01.2022 How would you like for over 1000 ltrs of water per hour to be pumped through your entire house? What if I told you most homes have at least 6-8 of these time bombs throughout your dwelling. And worst of all..... They most always seem to bust when the plumbing is least at use and the pipe pressure builds. This means at night whilst your sleeping or away for the weekend!!! The damage one of these busting can lead into the 10s of thousands in damage and make up over 20% of esca...pe of liquid claims across Australia every year!!! Pictured is a corroded Flexi hose on its very last days . Now quality ones of these come a 10 year warranty as this one does however, this 3 year old one we found at Coolum beach is clearly not going to make the 10year mark. Regular inspections is the only way to ensure you dont end up with a nasty suprise ruining your day and your house . We recommend ensuring you get your flexible braided water hoses inspected every 3-5years minimum to ensure your home stays dry. #caloundra #buildingandpest #newhome #invest

08.01.2022 As much as I am looking forward to summer I am not looking forward to the high temps in these roof voids.

01.01.2022 our tramex moisture metres detect and evaluate moisture conditions within various building materials by non-destructively measuring the electrical impedance. Our moisture metres can test content in dressed materials without having to puncture or penetrate the material being tested A low frequency electronic signal is transmitted into the material via the electrodes in the base of the instrument. The strength of this signal varies in proportion to the amount of moisture in the... material under test. The Moisture metre determines the strength of the current and converts this to a moisture content value, displaying it on a large clear analog dial. Moisture measured in your building can often indicate problem areas such as leaking pipes, failed waterproof membranes or areas that may have conducive conditions for the presence of pests, we combine this with our thermal imaging for the ultimate non invasive inspection.
