What's Included In Your Manawatū Building Inspection
Our detailed inspection covers the key parts of your prospective home. Ruahine Inspections specialises in single and two storey homes with one to four bedrooms, and we check the property’s condition thoroughly to protect your purchase.
Interior Checklist
Inside the house, we examine walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, and cupboards for structural soundness, signs of damage, and general wear. We note any safety concerns and maintenance needs. Short, clear notes. Useful photos.
Exterior And Roof Assessment
We inspect exterior cladding, gutters, downpipes, and the roof. Leaks, loose or damaged materials, and weatherproofing issues are identified, so water ingress risks are highlighted early.
Subfloor And Structural Evaluation
Subfloor assessment is especially important in the Manawatū, where moisture and pests can affect timber framing. We assess foundations and structural stability, confirming the home’s framework is sound.
Moisture Testing And Reporting
Moisture problems can lead to mould or timber rot, affecting health and property value. Our inspections include moisture testing with reliable tools to detect hidden dampness risks early.
