21.01.2022 Excellent tips for all you home owners. Don’t forget your investment properties either, insist your agent included all these items in your annual maintenance plan.

21.01.2022 Some very useful information for those assisting with repairs and rebuilds of houses damaged with the flood waters. ALSO please be mindful of any home built before 1990 as they may contain Asbestos and asbestos related products. Such items should not be removed, they can be cleaned/washed, left to dry and painted if necessary but NOT sanded. If you are unsure of the hazardous materials in your home then please have a licensed asbestos contractor identify before you remove/repair.

20.01.2022 35 submersions! One is too many. Parents please be vigilant, this could easily have been 35 drownings. Please ensure your pools are secure. If you’re unsure then please have your Pool Barrier inspected.

19.01.2022 DJ Russell & Sons Building Inspectors are also licensed Pool Safety Inspectors. We can be engaged as consultant only for owner occupied properties with a swimming to assess and advise on the current pool safety barrier. Owner occupied pools do not require a pool safety certificate but they must still comply. Call us today to discuss and arrange a pool barrier safety inspection.

19.01.2022 What would you do if cracks suddenly appeared once construction on a neighbouring block starts? Who’s going to pay for the damage and how will you prove the damage wasn’t there before hand. A dilapidation inspection report is a report on the condition of a building at a given time, it records the existing condition of the building including defect conditions. This type of report is most useful if there is planned work about to commence on adjacent property with a view of establishing accelerated deterioration due to the nature of construction. ie demolition works, excavation and construction. If you’re concerned about your property due to works next door call us today or enquire online.

14.01.2022 I comment on this type of repair constantly and just like this post says, a shower is no place to put your or others DIY abilities to the test. Engaging a specialist when it comes to your bathroom will save you money.

13.01.2022 Winter Pool & Spa Safety Its easy to forget about the swimming pool during the winter months but the risk hasn't changed. It is just as important to maintain pool safe now than it was during those summer days. Kids still play just as much outside and pool safety is an all year round concern. Our pool safety inspection is a fixed fee inspection, there are no hidden return inspection fee or certificate fees, one fee covers it all, it even includes adjustments to hinges and latc...hes. Not all pools or spas need to hold a current safety certificate, owner occupied pools need only to comply and often this easier said than done. We can provide you with the same diligence as a certified barrier with our pool safety inspection service which includes a detailed report on what items need addressing and more importantly how to make them compliant. We will even comeback if needed so your not left wondering. Call us today to discuss your swimming pool or spa on 0458770330

12.01.2022 Retrospective Certification! A council issued Show Cause Notice for that alteration or addition you've added to your home can create incredible anxiety.

04.01.2022 I see this type of thing regularly during inspections. It is critical that the visual barrier is maintained. Q. What is the visual barrier? A. For Brick Veneer construction, 75mm beneath weep holes must remain clear at all times. Weep holes are the vertical gaps between bricks around the lower perimeter of the home. ... For timber, the same applies for timber, 75mm clear to the underside of post. Exposed edge slabs, typically waffle pod slab. The slab is designed to meet the termite barrier requirements of the building code with an exposed edge. This edge should never be built over, even garden beds should not be placed along the exposed edge. Fact. Termites can destroy an entire 4 bed, 2 bath timber framed home in as little 10 weeks. Remember that nothings is termite proof, all measures are resistant only whilst the barrier is maintained. If you can’t see it then there may as well be nothing there to protect your home. If you’re concerned with your current level of protection or considering building in timber around the perimeter of your home or even garden beds?! Please give us a call
