Issues Discovered
Common Issues Found in Bittern Homes
Bittern has a mix of weatherboard homes, brick veneer properties, and rural blocks, which presents a range of unique challenges. We often identify subfloor moisture, timber decay, and termite activity. Especially in homes surrounded by dense bushland. On older properties, we’ve found asbestos, rusted roof sheeting, and illegally modified extensions.
Salt exposure from nearby coastal winds and shifting clay soil can also lead to cracks in brickwork or roof issues, which are important to catch early. These are the kinds of defects that only a licensed, experienced inspector will find—and they’re exactly why inspections matter.
