Issues We Frequently Identify Before They Become Expensive Problems

Every home has its own story, and even well-maintained properties can hide issues that aren’t obvious at first glance. Through our house inspections and wider building inspection services across Perth, we regularly identify a range of common defects that buyers and homeowners should be aware of. Below are some of the issues we find most often.

Checklist v2

Structural Cracks

Hairline to major cracks in walls, ceilings or foundations.

Checklist v2

Roofing Damage

Loose tiles, leaks, poor flashing and inadequate drainage.

Checklist v2

Moisture & Damp

Rising damp, bathroom leaks, poor ventilation, mould risk.

Pest & Termites

Insulation Issues

Checklist v2

DIY Defects

Unapproved or unsafe alterations that don’t meet building standards.

Even minor issues can turn into major expenses if overlooked. Recognising these common defects early gives you a clearer picture of the property and protects you from unexpected repair costs.

I recently had Ed do a building inspection for a property I’m looking to buy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was super professional and really easy to work with — quick to return calls, on time, and very thorough during the inspection. What I really appreciated was how helpful he was in explaining everything. As a buyer, some of the details can feel a bit overwhelming, but Ed broke things down clearly and gave practical advice on what actually needed attention versus what was just good to keep an eye on. It’s clear he knows his stuff and genuinely cares about making sure you understand what you’re getting into. I’d definitely recommend Ed to anyone needing a reliable and knowledgeable building inspection!!!

I had such a great experience with Rushe Building Inspections. Edward was amazing — really prompt in getting back to me and super easy to deal with. He quickly organised a time for the inspection at Qinns and kept me in the loop throughout. He always answered my calls and messages, which made the process so smooth. The inspection and report were detailed and professional, and he took the time to go through everything with me over the phone. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients. Friendly, reliable, and very professional — I’d definitely recommend Edward to anyone needing a building inspection!

Our Approach: Simple & Easy to Navigate

Before you buy, ask yourself — do you really know what you’re walking into? Can you afford to “hope for the best” on a $600,000+ purchase? And is this the kind of decision you want to make without a professional on your side? You don’t need more stress — you need answers. That’s exactly why our process is built to uncover the real condition of your property before you commit, giving you confidence at every step.

Step 1: Quote & Booking

Call, message, or enquire online. Pick a time that suits you.

Step 2: We Show Up and Get to Work

We’re punctual, professional, and fully equipped. You’ll get a thorough on-site inspection with zero shortcuts.

Step 3: Next-Day Reporting

Our reports are clear, photo-rich, and ready the next business day.

Step 4: Ongoing Support

We don’t vanish after the report. We explain the findings and help you decide how to act on them.
