Our Building Defect Report Services Include:

1. Structural Integrity Inspection

We evaluate the structural soundness of your property, checking for foundation cracks, settling issues, or signs of severe wear. Our team inspects the framing, walls, floors, and roof to ensure they meet safety standards and are free from structural defects.

2. Water Damage and Dampness Evaluation

Water damage is one of the most common yet often overlooked building issues. Our inspectors assess moisture levels, mold growth, and possible water ingress from leaks, drainage failures, or poor waterproofing. We help identify areas at risk of future water damage to prevent further complications.

3. Electrical and Plumbing Systems Assessment

Outdated or faulty electrical and plumbing systems can pose serious safety risks. Our team conducts a detailed examination of your building’s electrical and plumbing infrastructure, looking for signs of wear, faulty wiring, leaks, or non-compliance with modern standards.

4. Roof and External Features Inspection

Roofs are essential in protecting the interior of the building, and any damage can lead to expensive repairs. Our roof inspection includes checking for leaks, worn-out shingles, improper insulation, or drainage issues. Additionally, we inspect other external features like windows, doors, and facades for signs of wear and damage.

5. Building Maintenance and Safety Check

We help ensure your building is safe for occupancy. From fire safety equipment to emergency exits, we provide a thorough review of your building’s compliance with safety regulations, recommending improvements where necessary.
