Pinnacle Inspections, a proudly owned and operated South Australian business, delivers ‘Professional Home Inspections’, offering you peace of mind through comprehensive independent reporting.

The scope of the inspection, exclusions and client acknowledgment limits the inspection to only items designated on the "index of inspection - check list", subject to the “Limitations of Design and Inspection access” found in the “Australian Standards AS4349.1 2007”. The reports deal primarily with the visual detection or non-detection of structural damage or inadequacies in the basic-primary components. It also extends to conditions which could lead to structural damage.
The reports do not purport to cover: compliance and or provision of any Building Act, Code, regulation or by-laws. The reports do not cover whether the ground below, upon which the inspected structure has been built, is subject to subsidence, land-slip, earthquake, tidal inundation or flooding.
The reports do not include any termite detection or damage unless blatantly obvious.
We do not test or look at every component for termite induced damage. However, if during the inspection, surface termite damage is visible, this will be noted in the inspection report.
The inspection is solely visual and is limited to accessible surface inspections only, which includes testing for dampness.
Our inspections are unbiased and completely independent of Vendor and Real Estate Agents
Representative samples of surrounding structural components are viewed in areas that are inaccessible at the time of the inspection.
No destructive testing, dismantling or removal of coverings of building surfaces or components is performed. Areas not accessible will be noted and are judged on performance to date for age only. The aim of these inspections is to put you the home buyer in a better position to make a buying decision. Not all improvements will be identified during this inspection. Unexpected repairs should still be anticipated. The inspection should not be considered as a guarantee or warranty of any kind.
The inspectors will not access or report on asbestos unless blatantly obvious and then it will only be an observation remark in the report, this is a very specialised area and only a suitably qualified specialist can make a professional judgement as to whether the material in question is actually asbestos and the appropriate actions necessary.
Out-buildings, pergolas, porches, areas above 3.6m in height, underground sewers or septic, are not covered by this report.
The purpose of these reports is to identify structural issues of concern in the building only, in so far as a competent person with the relevant experience can reasonably identify those defects or faults.
Again, please note that the report is the result of a visual examination only.
Should you wish to have a structural certification required by a council or shire, then a practicing structural engineer would need to be engaged by you.
