Common Hidden Defects in Inner West Properties

  • Termite damage hidden within walls and subfloor spaces, behind fresh paint and new linings
  • Failed waterproofing beneath new tile finishes in bathrooms and balconies
  • Structural movement and cracking concealed by cosmetic renders and new plasterboard
  • Active moisture ingress and mould behind freshly painted walls
  • Substandard or incomplete renovation work buried behind new finishes
  • Illegal alterations or additions made to appear compliant

Our Hidden Defect Detection Approach

We combine the forensic eye of a qualified NSW licensed builder with advanced detection technology — thermal imaging, acoustic detection, moisture metres and forensic assessment of building history and renovation quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can defects really be deliberately concealed?

Yes — it happens more than you would expect. Fresh paint over cracks, new tile over failed waterproofing, cosmetic renovation over termite-damaged timber. Our inspections are specifically designed to identify the signs of concealment and find what's underneath.

What happens if hidden defects are found after purchase?

If defects were actively concealed by the vendor and you can demonstrate the concealment, you may have legal recourse. We recommend discussing your position with a property lawyer if significant concealed defects are discovered after exchange.
