Problems Discovered
Issues We Commonly Find in Botanic Ridge Homes
Even newly built homes can hide problems. In Botanic Ridge, we often uncover:
- Subfloor drainage issues, particularly on sloping blocks or clay-heavy soil
- Poorly installed flashing and waterproofing, leading to leaks and internal damage
- Pest entry points around slab edges, weep holes, and garage frames
- Termite activity in untreated landscaping timbers or nearby vegetation
- Cracking in foundations and walls, often due to soil movement or tree root intrusion
These problems can escalate quickly—our reports help you catch them early and avoid unexpected repair bills.
