This roof is….

Spring's a great time to take a look at your roof and check for any visible damage or areas needing attention. 🔎

A little TLC now can help keep the rain where it belongs… Outside!

𝗪𝗧𝗙 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆: 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗔𝘁 😬

Timber windows need a little love now and then, but this one's well past a fresh coat of paint...

A little maintenance goes a long way. This one's missed the window of opportunity! 👀

𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗿 = 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀.

Those tiny holes in the timber are a tell-tale sign of borer activity. 🪳

Borer larvae feed on timber from the inside, often for years before emerging and leaving behind the small holes you can see here.

During a building inspection, we look for signs of borer and the condition of the affected timber, particularly in older homes where it’s more commonly found.

𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗴... 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀? 🌱

Wet winter weather can leave moss and mould building up on paths and driveways, and pavers lifting or shifting.

Spring is a good time to clear away the build-up and check for uneven surfaces. A little maintenance now can improve your property’s appearance and help reduce the risk of slips and trips. ✅

𝗪𝗧𝗙 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆: 𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗞-𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗗 😬

There’s weathered timber... and then there’s timber hanging on for dear life.

Once decay gets this far, it’s no longer just a maintenance issue. Deteriorated decking and framing can affect the strength and safety of the structure.

All hands OFF deck.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿?

Metal behind a wall can interfere with moisture meter readings and create a false positive.

That’s where the magnet comes in. 🧲 It can help rule out hidden metal, but knowing 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 and 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 to use it is where training and experience matter.

Because good moisture testing isn’t just about having the right tools. It’s knowing how to use them together. 🔎

Moisture testing isn’t just about taking a reading.
It’s about testing in the right places. ✅

Experienced inspectors know where signs of moisture are more likely to be found, from below windows and doors to the base of walls, wet areas and other vulnerable points around the home.

Testing in the correct locations can help identify elevated moisture readings that may require further investigation. 🔎

Spring has sprung, and things are getting a little wild overhead. 🌱
