Each home has a sewer overflow point, the purpose of this is to allow waste water to escape via the external of the home rather than the internal of the home.

Rising water within the vertical sewer shaft (as this photograph shows) indicates a blockage within the homes plumbing sewer pipes. The blockage could be due to a range of reasons including tree roots crushing the pipes below ground or even children dropping toys into the sewer overflow pipe.

Electrical safety is very important, we found this non-compliant power outlet which allows for persons such as young children to place thier fingers behind and potentially come into contact with live electrical cabling. Most concerning was that a licensed electrical has provided an electrical compliance certificate despite this serious and dangerous installation.

The kitchen presents well and all appears ot be correct, however the stove is non-compliant. Affordable Building Inspections found that there was no restraint (chain or bracket) installed behind to prevent the stove being tipped forward.

This is an important safety feature that we identifeid during the pre-purchase inspection of this Rockingham home. The result of which is that the seller needs to arrange remedial works prior to settlement of the home into the buyers name.

There are specific rules for providing isolation from swimming pools and spas areas (and pond deeper than 300mm). During a recent building inspection in Melville Affordable Building Insepctions identified that while full isolation was provided and the access gates were correctly self-closing mesh installed next to a sction of fencing allowed persons to gain a foothold and transit over the fence. 

It is the sellers responsibility to correct the breach and provide full and compliant isolation fencing, and our identification of the breach saved the buyer the cost and effort to correct the wrong or the consequences that may have resulted if the breach was not identified.

Our comprehensive service includes Pre-Purchase Inspections established single and two-storey homes, inspections of homes under construction or recently completed commercial properties, we even arrange termite and pest inspections. 

Our company is registered with the Building Commission of Western Australia and has held Registration Number 11090 for many years. All building and property Inspections are carried out personally by our Senior Inspector who is also registered with the Building Commission and with over 28 years’ experience in the building industry, he is well experienced to assist you with expert advice in all areas of building. This experience is the reason that our reports are longer because we find what the others miss. 

Since our inception in February 1997 we have conducted thousands of building and property inspections of both residential and commercial properties, identifying structural, non-structural and maintenance related items of concern. All reports are typed and worded in layperson terms to ensure that each and every item identified is easily understood by all persons who read the report, particularly helpful to those persons who are not familiar with technical buildings terms. 

Our goal is to provide you, the homebuyer, with a professional affordable building and property inspection service, and through our Facebook page, our weekly posts keep homeowners updated with timely reminders regarding maintenance of properties, general information and safety related matters.

According to Affordable Building Inspections new homes should be built to the Australia Standards - this image is of a new home where the upper fixings are installed within polystyrene walls (now a common building technique in WA). which is not safe in its current state and should have metal fixing plates concealed behind the polystyrene for a positive fixing for the balustrade.
