Garry Witt (QBCC #1099684) arrives fully equipped with specialized ladder rigs, moisture meters, and thermal cameras.
Exposed electrical wiring was identified near the external air-conditioning unit, presenting a potential electrical safety hazard. Assessment and rectification by a licensed electrician are recommended.
Cracking was identified in the external masonry fence, potentially associated with ground movement. Further assessment may be required to determine the cause and establish appropriate repairs.
Roof sarking was found to have become detached in sections of the roof cavity. Repairs may be required to restore its intended function and help protect the roof space from moisture and other external elements.
Deterioration and rust were identified around the downpipe connections and sealants. Repairs and resealing are recommended to help prevent water leakage and further deterioration.
Moisture damage was identified on an internal ceiling. Investigation traced the source to a leaking pipe beneath the upstairs bathroom shower. The leak and any resulting damage require appropriate rectification.
Moisture and mould were identified in the subfloor area, including on the underside of the flooring above. Further investigation is recommended to establish the moisture source and determine the extent of any damage.

Unlike inspectors who only view from the ladder base, Garry physically walks safe roof profiles to check cracked tiles and bedding mortar where possible due to height and weather conditions.
The pool gate required adjustment to ensure it closes automatically. A properly functioning self-closing gate is an important pool safety feature and should be rectified promptly to maintain a safe pool area.
Defects were identified in the roof ridge capping, including deteriorated mortar and cracked roof tiles. Repointing and replacement of damaged tiles are recommended to help prevent water penetration into the roof cavity.
Deterioration was identified in the braided plumbing hoses. These hoses can fail without warning, potentially causing significant water damage. Prompt replacement by a licensed plumber is recommended.
Significant deterioration was identified in the subfloor support piers. As these piers contribute to the structural support of the building, further assessment and appropriate repairs are recommended to help maintain structural stability.
Live termites, termite mudding and elevated moisture levels were identified in the subfloor area. This is a serious finding requiring prompt assessment by our licensed pest management professional, together with investigation of any associated timber damage and moisture issues.
Uneven floor levels were identified during the inspection using a laser level. Further investigation by a suitably qualified structural engineer is recommended to assess the cause, determine its significance and advise on any necessary remedial work.
Timber decay, fungal growth and rot were identified in the external timber steps and retaining posts. This deterioration may compromise the strength and load-bearing capacity of the affected timber. Assessment and appropriate repairs or replacement is recommended to address potential safety concerns.
