Our House Inspections Process in Upper Riccarton

Skipping or rushing house inspections Upper Riccarton can leave you with hidden roof leaks, unsafe wiring, slow drains, or moisture that later becomes mould, which means costly repairs, insurance pushback, or a stalled closing.

Here is how we run a thorough inspection from booking to report, with roof access when safe, attic and crawl checks, outlet and safety device tests, full plumbing runs, moisture scanning, and clear photo documentation.

  • We Check Structure And Safety.
  • We Test Major Home Systems.
  • We Deliver Clear Photos And Report.

We are local to Upper Riccarton and we use ladders, drones when safe, moisture metres, and an infrared camera while we test outlets, fixtures, heating and cooling, drains, and safety devices, then we check attics, crawlspaces, roofs, grading, decks, garages, detached buildings, and permit history. People often skip the roof, crawlspace, or permit review and end up with leaks, mould, unsafe wiring, insurance trouble, or delayed financing, and our method cuts that risk with plain language reports, photos, and repair priorities within twenty four hours.
