Getting a building inspection should be an absolute necessity. This is because that there might be faults as a result of dodgy construction work. Dodgy construction work can occur in new houses or in sections of a home that have been renovated. This dodgy work manifests can become either a major and minor issue. Minor defects are not immediately an issue and may just be something to keep an eye on. They may not pose a risk to your health, but they may devalue the house or be unappealing. Minor defects include hairline cracks in the concrete slab, impact damage on walls, deteriorated bindings of gate components and a small amount of fungal decay. However, major defects demand immediate attention. Major defects include loose or missing handrails, trip hazards such as uneven or lifted tiles, severe cracks and leaning fences that verge on collapse. The other threat to look out for when purchasing a home is the existence of a pest infestation. Termites are an especially damaging pest that are hard to spot. This is because termites eat through the wood of your home. This allows them to enter the inside of your home totally undetected, eating away at the wooden frames and wooden fixtures. If left unchecked they can do thousands of dollars in damage or make your new home unlivable. Given their ability to move through wood as they eat at it, they are not easy to spot. It takes training and equipment, such as a thermal camera and radar sensor, to find them. As such, getting a pre-purchase pest inspection is essential. The last thing you want is to find a massive termite infestation in your home, months or years later. Such defects pose a risk to your home, health and safety. By getting an inspection, you are having these issues properly identified before you finalise the purchase and move into the property.
