INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Mount Pleasant’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Mount Pleasant was established in 1911, and it sits on the Canning River, bounded by Canning Highway to the north. It is an affluent suburb of around 7,500 people, with Blue Gum Lake, the Queens Road shopping precinct and Mount Pleasant Primary School as local anchors. Mount Henry Bridge and Canning Bridge are close by. Being one of the older suburbs in the area, it has housing from many eras, from early 20th century houses through to modern rebuilds on riverside and elevated blocks.
The three defect categories we see most in Mount Pleasant homes are cracking and movement on sloping blocks, ageing roofs and roof plumbing, and damp near the river and lake. The name is a clue: parts of the suburb sit on higher ground, so retaining walls, footings and floors can shift. Older roofs are often worn, with failing gutters and flashings. Homes close to the Canning River and Blue Gum Lake can have damp in walls and sub-floors. Our weep holes and damp guide covers the signs.
Prices here are high, so hidden problems are expensive. Many homes have been renovated or rebuilt, and some of that work is more cosmetic than structural. A registered builder checks structure, roof space, sub-floor and wet areas, and tells you what a polished finish might be covering. Your report arrives 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.
What’s Included in Your Mount Pleasant Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Mount Pleasant inspection is carried out by a licensed registered builder (BP104751), not a generalist with a checklist. We physically access roof voids, subfloors and external structures wherever it’s safe to do so, and we inspect against the building code our inspectors have spent their careers working under. On Mount Pleasant’s older and riverside homes, our builder-inspectors check retaining walls and footings, roof and gutter condition, and damp in walls and sub-floors, especially close to the water.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Mount Pleasant
A full timber pest inspection is included with every combined booking, not bolted on as an upsell. We check for active subterranean termite activity, evidence of past activity, termite conducive conditions, failed or expired chemical barriers, and wood borer activity across the property, fencing and outbuildings.
Mount Pleasant has established gardens, mature trees and older timber in roof frames and outdoor structures. Damp ground near the Canning River and Blue Gum Lake suits termites, so we check sub-floors, fences and roof voids.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Mount Pleasant report lands in your inbox within 24 hours of the inspection. It’s not a generic template. Every defect we identify is photographed, captioned and explained in plain English with the relevant Australian Standard or NCC clause cited where applicable. You’ll see exactly what the issue is, why it matters, and what it’s likely to cost to remediate. We also include a follow-up consultation call so you can walk through the findings with your inspector before any negotiation or settlement decisions.

What does a building and pest inspection cover?
Our inspectors inspect more than your average inspector. How? We are qualified registered builders, so we go where the others won’t and we detect what the others can’t. Read more about what a full building and pest inspection covers.
How long does a building inspection in Mount Pleasant take?
Most inspections take 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size, age and access of the home. Older homes, bigger blocks and homes with extensions or outbuildings take longer, because we inspect all of it. Your detailed photo report arrives within 24 hours.
Do I need a termite inspection in Mount Pleasant?
Yes. Mount Pleasant has older homes, mature gardens and damp ground near the river and lake, all of which help termites. A timber pest inspection is included in our building and pest package. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Mount Pleasant do you cover?
We cover all of Mount Pleasant (6153) and the suburbs around it, including Applecross, Ardross, Booragoon, Como, Salter Point and Rossmoyne. We inspect right across the South & Fremantle Corridor and the rest of Perth.
Is a building inspection required when buying property in Western Australia?
It isn’t a legal requirement, but Consumer Protection WA recommends making your offer subject to a building inspection. Without one, you buy the home as it is. Make sure your contract includes a building inspection clause, and book the inspection within 2 to 3 business days of your offer being accepted so you have time to act on the report.
What should I look for when buying a home in Mount Pleasant?
Check retaining walls, floors and cracks on sloping blocks. Look at the roof and gutters. Check the base of walls and sub-floors for damp, especially close to the river or lake. Ask about renovations and whether approvals were in place. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Mount Pleasant. Do you offer new construction inspections?
Yes. We inspect new homes at every stage, from the slab through to handover. See our guide to construction stage inspections in WA, and use our PCI checklist before you take the keys. It’s far cheaper to have the builder fix defects before you move in than after.
Can you negotiate the price after a building and pest inspection?
Yes. A detailed report with photos and plain-English explanations gives you solid evidence to renegotiate the price or ask the seller to fix defects before settlement. Talk to your settlement agent early, because your building inspection condition has a deadline.
What makes WA Building Inspections different?
Our inspectors are licensed registered builders (BP104751). Real Builders. Better Inspections. We know how a home should have been built, not just how it looks, and we inspect to AS 4349.1 with a full timber pest inspection to AS 4349.3. Every report arrives within 24 hours, with a follow-up call to walk you through it.
Should I worry about sloping blocks and retaining walls in Mount Pleasant?
Yes. Parts of the suburb sit on higher ground above the Canning River, and many homes use retaining walls or split levels. Walls can lean, crack or drain poorly. We check retaining walls, drainage and floor levels, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
