INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS

Edgewater’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Edgewater received official approval as a suburb in 1974, and takes its name directly from its location on the western edge of Lake Joondalup, part of the Yellagonga Regional Park wetland system. Edgewater railway station sits in the suburb’s south-western corner, and shopping facilities near the lake include a supermarket, restaurant and barbecue areas that make the most of the waterside setting. The suburb is home to Mater Dei College and Edgewater Primary School, and most of its housing dates from the mid-1970s through the 1980s as the area filled in around the new lake frontage.

The three defect categories we see most in Edgewater homes are damp from the high water table, asbestos-cement materials and termite activity near the lake. Blocks close to Lake Joondalup and the surrounding Yellagonga Regional Park sit on higher water tables than suburbs further inland, and we check subfloor ventilation and drainage carefully on those properties. Edgewater’s approval dates from 1974, and homes from that era through the 1980s commonly used fibro sheeting in eaves and garages. The lake’s fringing vegetation and reeds provide termites with a natural corridor into nearby properties, so we check subfloors and garden-facing walls closely.

A lake view is a genuine selling point, but it comes with drainage and moisture considerations that a straight cosmetic inspection will miss entirely. Our registered builders check the ground as carefully as the house, with your report within 24 hours.

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.
