In short: Inspections in Morayfield commonly reveal issues with drainage, roofing and moisture in homes.

Soil and drainage issues

Many Morayfield properties sit in the Burpengary Creek catchment. This can lead to drainage problems, particularly after heavy rain events.

During the 2010-2011 floods, many homes in Morayfield suffered water ingress. We often see cracked roof tiles and leaking gutters in older homes.

The subtropical climate in Morayfield creates conditions for mould growth if there is poor ventilation or water entry.

We check all work against the QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide. This covers the quality of plastering, tiling and painting in new builds.

A pre-purchase inspection covers the whole house and includes AS 4349.1 standards. This gives you a complete picture of the property's condition.
