Informed Building Inspections

💧 HIGH MOISTURE READINGS: WHAT IS YOUR BUILDING HIDING?

High moisture readings during a Building & Pest Inspection can be an important warning sign of hidden defects, water ingress or potential damage.

Our inspectors use specialised moisture detection equipment to investigate areas throughout a property, including bathrooms, kitchens, walls, ceilings, windows and skirting boards.

🔎 Common causes of elevated moisture readings include:

🚿 Waterproofing failures – Defective membranes or deteriorated seals in bathrooms and wet areas.

🚰 Plumbing leaks – Leaking pipes, fittings or concealed plumbing connections.

🏠 Roof and ceiling leaks – Damaged roof coverings, defective flashings, blocked gutters or deteriorated seals allowing water to enter roof spaces and affect ceilings.

🌧️ Water pe*******on – Failed window seals, external wall defects or water entering through vulnerable building junctions.

💦 Rising damp – Moisture migrating through masonry or other building materials.

🌫️ Condensation – Poor ventilation and elevated humidity contributing to moisture accumulation.

🧱 Previous water damage – Materials retaining moisture following an earlier leak or water ingress event.

Why does it matter?

Excess moisture can contribute to timber deterioration, damaged building materials, fungal or mould growth and conditions conducive to timber pest activity, including termites and wood rot.

A high moisture reading is an indication, not a diagnosis. Identifying the likely source and recommending further investigation where necessary is an important part of a comprehensive inspection.

Not all building inspection reports are created equal! 🏡

We recently cross-referenced a 7-page inspection report from another provider on a property we inspected... Our comprehensive report on that exact same property came out at 70 pages.

A 7-page glance might check a box, but a 70-page deep dive gives you total peace of mind before making one of the biggest investments of your life. Don't leave major hidden defects or costly repairs to guesswork!

Why Choose Informed Building Inspections?

Proven Experience: QBCC licensed builders conducting your building & pest inspections.
