Mr Inspector is a qualified building inspector operating in Melbourne Victoria since 2004 and has a vast knowledge of Building defects in homes.
A recent building and pest inspection in Black Rock found excessive timber rot under a house which was caused by a leaking bathroom which was leaking at the time of the inspection.
The main cause of leaks in wet areas is inadequate water proofing of the wet areas which is a persistent problem.
To repair wet area and rot defects in a bathroom can range from $3500 to $15,000 and this depends on how extensive the water damage travelled and removal and replacement of tiles.
Peter has a Diploma of Building Surveying which makes him one of the few in Melbourne who are Qualified to carry out building inspections as per the Building Act 1993. He is also qualified in Timber Pest Inspections (Cert 3), Pool Barrier Inspection (Certificate 11077454) and Non-Friable Asbestos Awareness and removal.
