24.01.2022 Tree roots can be devastating and cause severe problems to residential properties - particularly for slab on ground construction and concrete slabs in general (eg driveway) The presence of any trees therefore near a residential structure, of a variety that will mature into being large tree, with a similar root system, must be avoided. Obviously during construction of new houses, smart landscaping choices will assist in avoiding this issue.... For existing structures that already have large and mature trees nearby, constant monitoring of any possiblepossible effects from any tree roots should be carried out (primarily cracking) The most preferred course of action however is by being proactive and installing tree root barriers and where possible having trees removed. This would assist tremendously, in terms of avoiding any possible detrimental effects from tree roots.

24.01.2022 Cracking work and high level of detail. Easy recommendation!

19.01.2022 A very common problem we identify during our inspections, in relation to concrete tile roofs, is where roof tiles dislodge and end up in the valleys. The provided picture is a good example of this. Having any obstructions in the valleys of a roof, will significantly diminish it’s ability to collect and disperse stormwater during rainfall periods.... In the worst case scenarios, it will also contribute to the buildup of moisture and possible backflow into the ceiling void area. If this happens, it is probable significant damage to building materials within the structure will result. Always be proactive and inspect the valleys for any dislodged tiles and if they are identified put them back in place to avoid the aforementioned risks.

14.01.2022 By far the oldest hot water cylinder in service at a property we have seen, during the 20 years we have been doing Residential Building Inspections. Yes, the date is correct - 1977... not a spot of corrosion on the cylinder and working perfectly. Almost like brand new. They don’t make them like they use to do they!
