Observations
Sample Findings
Ridge capping loose — sections lifting and cracked
The ridge capping tiles along the northern roof slope are lifting and have extensive cracking with failed mortar. This allows water ingress to the roof space during heavy rain events.
Recommendation
Engage a licensed roofing contractor to re-bed and point all ridge capping. Inspect the underlying sarking and ceiling lining for water damage.

Photo Documentation Included
Shower recess waterproofing membrane failure — bathroom 1
Tap testing of shower tiles in Bathroom 1 reveals extensive hollow (drummy) tiles across the lower half of the shower enclosure, indicating waterproofing membrane failure behind the tile bed.
Recommendation
Full shower recess waterproofing rectification required. This involves removal of all tiles, replacement of the membrane and re-tiling. Obtain quotes from licensed waterproofers.
Rear gutter fall inadequate — water ponding evident
The rear gutter is not falling adequately toward the downpipe and shows water ponding marks (tide marks) along its length. While not currently causing damage, prolonged ponding will accelerate corrosion.
Recommendation
Re-hang the rear gutter section to correct the fall angle. Flush and clear the downpipe outlet.

How many photos are typically included in a PrimeCheck report?
Reports typically include 50–150 photographs depending on the size and condition of the property. Every significant defect is documented with one or more photographs so findings are clear and unambiguous.
Can I share my inspection report with my conveyancer or solicitor?
