INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS

Canning Vale’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Canning Vale is a large southern suburb about 22 km south of the Perth CBD. It is split between two councils: the City of Canning west of Nicholson Road and the City of Gosnells east of it. It was known as North Jandakot until 1925 and stayed largely agricultural into the late 1970s, with market gardens and dairy farms working swampy, freshwater-rich land. Residential zoning came after 1994, and the population has grown from about 12,800 in 2001 to about 35,500 in 2021. Livingston Marketplace opened in 1997, Canning Vale College is local, and Market City and a big industrial area sit north of the rail line.

The three defect categories we see most in Canning Vale homes are high water table and damp problems, slab and brickwork cracking, and wet area waterproofing failures. The area was swamp and market garden country, and the water table sits high, so we look for damp at slab edges, wet subfloors and blocks that hold water after rain. Homes built since the mid-1990s are on ground that has settled and moved, and stepped cracks in brick and hairline cracks in slabs need sorting into harmless and structural. Showers from the late 1990s and 2000s are now old enough that waterproofing failures show up as swollen skirting, mould and lifting tiles.

Canning Vale is mostly 1990s to 2010s homes, which means most are well beyond builder warranty. Our registered builders check the structure, drainage and wet areas, and give you a plain-English report within 24 hours. For newer homes, we look at other faults too, including finishes and Iplex plumbing where the build date fits.

The difference with WA Building Inspections is simple: our inspectors are licensed registered builders (BP104751). Real Builders. Better Inspections. That’s why over 30,000 Perth home buyers have trusted us.
