Nestled at the foot of the Liverpool Ranges, Murrurundi offers a rich blend of heritage charm, rural landscapes, and peaceful living. From historic cottages to large country estates, the area attracts buyers seeking lifestyle properties with character and space. But whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining, it’s vital to look beyond the surface.
Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections provides comprehensive, independent property inspections throughout Murrurundi. With over 20 years of experience inspecting homes in regional NSW, we understand the unique challenges properties in this region can face.
Why Property Inspections Matter in Murrurundi
Country living has its perks—but it also comes with hidden risks. Many properties in Murrurundi are older, and age, weather, and pests can take their toll on a home’s structure. Combine this with environmental factors like high rainfall, dense vegetation, and shifting soils, and you’ve got plenty of reasons to schedule a thorough pest and building inspection.
Regular inspections help:
- Spot termite activity early, before major damage occurs
- Uncover rising damp, mould, or leaks that affect timber and plaster
- Detect cracks, movement, or uneven flooring linked to soil shifting
- Check roofing, gutters, and subfloors for deterioration or drainage issues
- Ensure compliance with safety regulations in older electrical and plumbing systems
Whether you’re purchasing your dream rural property or maintaining a long-time family home, an inspection gives you peace of mind and helps protect your investment.
What We Look For During Inspections
Each Murrurundi inspection is tailored to the age, layout, and environmental context of the property. Our process is thorough and non-invasive, with detailed reporting delivered fast.
Structural Stability
We assess the foundations, walls, roof frame, ceilings, and floors for signs of movement, cracks, or sagging—common in homes-built decades ago.
Timber Pest Detection
We look for termite damage, borer activity, and wood decay using visual checks, moisture meters, and thermal imaging where required.
Water and Moisture Problems
We identify signs of rising damp, roof leaks, and poor drainage that can weaken building materials and affect air quality.
Interior and Exterior Integrity
From skirting boards and cabinetry to verandas and weatherboards, we inspect for wear, damage, or safety concerns.
Roofing, Guttering, and Drainage
Particularly important in areas like Murrurundi that experience seasonal storms, we assess roofing structures and water runoff paths.
Plumbing, Electrical, and Ventilation
We note visible signs of ageing systems or hazards, particularly in older dwellings that may not meet current standards.
