WHAT WE COVER
What we check during your Home Maintenance Walkthrough
We work through your home together — inside and out — so you leave confident in how to maintain every part of it.
01
Roof, Gutters & External Drainage
The roof is one of the most important areas to maintain. We inspect accessible and visible areas for signs of deterioration, damage and maintenance issues that could allow water into the home.
We look for signs of:
- Roof deterioration or damage
- Spotting cracked tiles, lifted flashings and rust
- Debris and blockages in gutters preventing flow
- Identifying early signs of roof leaks
02
Wet Areas & Waterproofing
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens are where the most expensive damage starts. We show you how to keep silicone, grout and seals in good shape before water tracks into walls and subfloors.
- Inspecting silicone joints and grout lines
- Recognising early water damage signs
- Shower screen and tap seal upkeep
- Maintaining floor wastes and overflow drains
03
External Cladding, Paint & Timber
Your home’s exterior is its first line of defence. We teach you how to inspect cladding, paintwork, weatherboards and timber elements so you can act before rot or peeling sets in.
- Spotting paint failure and timber rot early
- Checking weatherboards, render and brickwork
- Window and door frame seal maintenance
- When to repaint vs. patch and touch up vs. replace entirely
04
Signs of Building Movement & Structural Concerns
Homes naturally move and age over time. During the walkthrough, we look for visible signs of movement or changes that may warrant monitoring or further investigation.
This may include:
- Cracking to internal or external walls and ceilings
- Doors and windows that don't operate normally anymore
- Changes in floor levels where observable
- Separation between building elements
05
Subfloors, Site Drainage & Moisture
Where accessible, we inspect the subfloor and surrounding site conditions for visible signs of moisture, drainage and maintenance concerns.
This may include:
- Subfloor ventilation
- Visible moisture and dampness, timber condition and signs of deterioration
- Water ponding around the home
- Ground levels and drainage concerns
