When we found our dream home in Charlestown, Lake Macquarie, we knew we needed the best inspector in the region. Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections came highly recommended. Mal personally attended the inspection and spent hours going through the property. He identified termite damage in the fence line, poor drainage around the slab, and moisture in the laundry wall. His report was incredibly detailed, with photos and plain-English explanations that made it easy to understand the risks. Having an inspector with local knowledge of Lake Macquarie made a big difference — Mal explained how the area’s soil movement can affect slab homes, and how to manage it. His professionalism and experience saved us from walking blindly into a house with hidden issues. For anyone buying in Charlestown, Belmont, or Warners Bay, Mal Wright is easily the top choice for pest and building inspections. William.H
