High Rise Leak Detection Building Inspections

Is it worth getting a building or leak detection test on an apartment?

Are the AGM body corp minutes enough to make a decision?

If your body corp minutes looked like a ‘clean slate’, certainly don’t 100% have faith in what it says, because it may not reflect the exact apartment you plan to buy. Getting a test for leaks when buying a high rise apartment (or any type of apartment) is certainly worth it.

We all know that buying a home/apartment on emotion (without getting it looked at closer by someone who know’s what they’re looking at), is a huge risk. Why on this earth do some people task this risk, and then go on the attack when they find an issue that was there right from the beginning?

Buying a home is a huge financial investment, so getting a leak detection test and a building inspection should be part of you pre purchase routine without doubt. You are not at a casino when buying a home (you can actually reduce risk in this situation)… you are doing research on securing your families immediate and long term future. No room for ‘punting’ here!

Body Corp Minutes

Body corp minutes are very helpful, especially if the AGM has past recently. But can you rely on them? No. Buying a home is a big commitment, and the last thing you want is to become one of ‘those people’ we read about in the paper wishing they did further due diligence before buying. Don’t rely on body corp minutes… do your own research.

Ok, the building may not have any leaks, but what about the apartment up above the one you’re looking to buy? How do you know they haven’t flooded their bathroom or kitchen recently? This type of ‘accident’ is unlikely to appear in the body corp minutes… because it’s unlikely to be reported in the first place, especially if it’s a renter living in there!

You can never be too cautious, and it’s not worth the risk. A peace of mind is much more comforting then not knowing at all.

$800,000 that was what we had signed up on, it was a huge 5 bedroom house we were going to buy. We received a very professional and prompted service saved us from buying this property which was a leaky home. Nearly every room had a leak or excessive moisture. We can't thank him enough and every home buyer no matter how much they like the house must get this company in to do the Thermal imaging. It may save them hundreds of thousands of dollars like they did for us and stress that would of come with it. John S

As first home buyers we were eager to ensure our investment was going to be a secure one. The inspection and report was thorough and easy to understand, and most importantly uncovered a worrying presence of moisture throughout the house, much of which was not obvious from a purely visual inspection. Thanks for saving us from buying a lemon. Ben H

A late decision to have our house tested for leaks before repainting was very wise. Numerous leaks were found between old pitched and flat roofs on a large build-on. Advice about the flatroof edging was appreciated. A big surprise was the nail hole in the roof above my bed that was letting in water. Money well spent. The inspector was pleasant and very professional in his work. Pauline F

Very Professional, thorough and on time. Priced well. Alex S

The inspector responded to my email query stunningly quickly, and I was so glad it suited him to do the moisture detection inspection on the very same day! Thanks to the thermal imaging device, we were able to see our house had no moisture issues. Yay! He also managed to pinpoint the location of a small leak that had potential of becoming a problem. Now that we know where and how small it is, we can get the roof patched up and not worry about replacing the whole roof. It was a small investment for a peace of mind (in our case, luckily!). If you're thinking of getting your house checked, don't waste your time any longer – call these guys. They are nice to deal with and know their stuff. Mari P

Very thorough inspection - identified a few problems we need to resolve before we list our property for sale, confident will then be a water tight dwelling. Rob F

The service, response time and attention to detail is outstanding. He included us in the whole process with clear explanations. We would definitely enlist his assistance again and recommend him highly. Yvonne R

I contacted an inspector hoping to track a leak in our ceiling. A leak that has survived partial re-cladding of the house, the windows being sealed and plumbers in to inspect the roof. A very prompt informative and professional visit ensued. The inspection discovered the source of the persistent leak. We now feel the integrity of our house will be maintained before any damage occurs. I would highly recommend this procedure. Maxine E

Very professional approach, did a good job. Answered all questions that I had plus offered sound advice. Thanks. Raymond H

Our inspector way very professional at what he does. Efficient, timely and concise. He explained what he is doing and what he finds so that you can get it fixed. Very friendly and approachable. Definitely use him again and would highly recommend his services to everybody that asks. John M

Great job, hidden problems revealed. Saved me buying a “wet” lemon! Peter J

By getting you in I have now a complete peace of mind about my house. One leak was detected & tracked to where it was coming from. Patricia M

We were relieved to have a Technician who was confident and efficient in finding the source of our problem. And as an added bonus we were able to view the areas involved on his monitor ourselves. It enabled us to get the problem fixed with certainty (Has now been done). An efficient service and a technician with integrity. Thank you. Hugh and Raewyn N

Your report helped us knock $20K off the price agreed to with the vendors. So definitely worth it!! The inspector was very patient in explaining how the equipment worked and what his findings were. Will use again on my next purchase. Thanks. Sahjid R

I had fantastic prompt service and would happily recommend him to anybody. Definitely worth it for peace of mind. Karenza H
