Tucked between rolling hills and farmlands, Mount Olive offers the tranquillity of country life—along with the kinds of property risks that can stay hidden until they become expensive problems. Whether you’re purchasing a homestead, maintaining an acreage, or preparing to sell a rural getaway, a professional pest and building inspection is a vital step.
Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections provides detailed, independent assessments that help Mount Olive homeowners, buyers, and investors make confident property decisions. With over 20 years of experience and a deep understanding of regional NSW conditions, we deliver reports you can trust.
Rural Charm Meets Regional Challenges
Mount Olive properties often feature older homesteads, lifestyle blocks, or farm infrastructure. These properties are exposed to more than just the elements—think termites, soil movement, roof corrosion, and outdated electrical systems.
Our inspections help identify:
- Structural movement caused by expansive clay soil or seasonal weather changes
- Hidden pest infestations, especially termites common to rural areas
- Water damage and rising damp in homes with poor ventilation or ageing waterproofing
- Compliance issues in older homes with outdated wiring, plumbing, or construction practices
Whether you’re in the middle of a property deal or maintaining an inherited estate, an inspection helps prevent small issues from becoming major headaches.
A Fresh Approach to Property Inspections
Our inspections go beyond a surface-level glance. Every Mount Olive report is detailed, visual, and tailored to your property. Here’s a breakdown of what we typically cover:
Exterior Assessment
We check external cladding, windows, roofing, and gutters for signs of deterioration, leaks, or storm damage. Sheds, garages, fences, and tanks are also included—especially critical for rural properties.
Interior Inspection
Walls, ceilings, skirtings, and wet areas are assessed for movement, mould, moisture, or decay. We note cracks, bulges, staining, or soft spots that may indicate larger structural concerns.
Termite & Pest Activity
We look for mud tubes, frass, hollowed timber, and environmental conditions conducive to termites or wood borers. If termite presence is confirmed, we’ll clearly outline the extent and urgency.
Roofing and Drainage
From tin roofs to aging guttering, water damage starts at the top. We inspect drainage patterns, downpipes, and water runoff areas to prevent future problems.
Electrical, Plumbing & Ventilation
Many rural properties still operate on ageing systems. We check for visible signs of wear, potential safety hazards, and general compliance—especially important in older dwellings.
