Why You Need a Building and Pest Inspection in Hamilton

Hamilton is one of Newcastle’s most popular inner suburbs — known for its heritage homes, vibrant Beaumont Street, and character-filled properties. But with many older homes in the area, common issues such as rising damp, termite damage, outdated wiring, and structural movement are frequently found.

A professional building and pest inspection in Hamilton will identify:

• Active or past termite activity

• Moisture damage and rising damp

• Roof and gutter leaks

• Structural cracking or foundation movement

• Poor drainage or ventilation

• Asbestos materials in older properties

Identifying these issues early could save you thousands in unexpected repairs and give you the information you need to negotiate confidently before settlement.
