Kars Springs is the kind of place that rewards quiet living, surrounded by sweeping paddocks, open skies, and rustic charm. But while the rural lifestyle here is peaceful, property maintenance can be anything but—especially when potential issues go undetected. From ageing homesteads to modern rural builds, each structure deserves a thorough inspection.
That’s where Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections comes in. We offer fully independent, highly detailed reports designed for property owners, buyers, and sellers across the Upper Hunter. Our inspections help uncover the hidden risks that could impact the safety, value, or saleability of your home or land.
What Can Go Wrong on Rural Properties?
Living off the beaten track doesn’t mean fewer risks—it often means different ones. Kars Springs homes and farms face challenges that city dwellings don’t, including:
- Termite activity in timber fencing, sheds, and subfloors
- Foundation movement due to shifting soils or erosion
- Moisture damage, especially in older buildings with outdated drainage
- Undetected roof leaks and water ingress in ceilings and walls
- Aging electrical systems or DIY plumbing in long-held properties
Even if your property looks solid from the outside, these issues can be costly if left unresolved.
Tailored Inspections for Rural Homes
Unlike standard metro inspections, our rural assessments are built for acreage properties, working farms, bush blocks, and everything in between. We check:
Structural Soundness
Inspecting foundations, floors, walls, and rooflines for cracks, sagging, or signs of deterioration.
Pest Presence
Using moisture meters and thermal imaging, we detect early signs of termites and timber pests—often in sheds, fencing, or roof cavities.
Moisture & Drainage
We look for damp areas, rising damp, and water pooling that could lead to structural rot or mould.
Utilities & Compliance
Checking visible plumbing and wiring for faults, especially in older homes or DIY renovations.
Outbuildings
Sheds, barns, stables, and garages are included—because pests don’t stop at the main house.
Our inspectors arrive fully equipped, knowledgeable, and ready to deliver a report that leaves no stone unturned.
