Housing across the region ranges from period homes in central Geelong to coastal builds on the Bellarine. Each brings a different defect profile, and coastal exposure adds its own.
Salt-air corrosion of roof sheeting, flashings and fixings across the Bellarine, plus accelerated wear on external metalwork in bayside and foreshore suburbs.
Movement cracking in Geelong's older brick and weatherboard homes, perished mortar, deteriorated roof flashings, and poor site drainage on reactive soils.
Termites, borers and fungal decay in subfloor timbers, stumps and decking, common where sandy Bellarine soils, restricted ventilation and damp combine.

Most standard residential inspections take between 1.5 and 2.5 hours on site, depending on the size of the property and how accessible the roof void and subfloor are.
Reports are typically delivered the next business day after the inspection. If you are working to a tight contract deadline, tell us upfront and we will do our best to accommodate it.
