About Us
Surprises in a home or small commercial space can wreck a deal, drain cash, or spark code trouble in Wellington. We handle detailed building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection at Wellington House Inspections, and we find the issues early so you can move forward with clarity or step back with confidence.
Our trained team has decades of combined experience in residential and light commercial work, and we are fussy about the details. We follow local code and industry standards, use moisture meters and thermal imaging where needed, access roof spaces and subfloors when safe, and deliver a clear photo heavy report the same day in most cases.
You get a same day digital report with clear photos, plain language, a priority list, and repair cost ranges, plus a phone walkthrough so nothing is left fuzzy. We help you avoid the slip ups we see every week, like skipping the roof and attic, ignoring permit history, or booking too late, because those lead to surprise repairs, insurance pushback, appraisal snags, or a delayed closing.
Our services cover building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, new construction phase inspections, month eleven warranty checks, moisture intrusion investigations, and re-inspections after repairs, and each service helps you negotiate better, meet lender or insurance needs, avoid unsafe conditions, and plan smart upkeep. Common mistakes are skipping the crawlspace or roof, relying only on a seller disclosure, booking late after you remove your contingency, or choosing only the cheapest option, and those choices can lead to hidden water damage, unsafe wiring, structural movement, pest issues, unpermitted work that slows closing, and large repair bills after you get the keys.
We handle pre-purchase inspection before your cooling off ends, pre-sale inspection before you list, and new build stage checks at slab, frame, pre-sheet, waterproofing, and practical completion, along with builder warranty and rental safety checks. These checks find leaks, unsafe wiring, drainage faults, movement, termite risk, and code issues early, which helps you avoid delays, fines, and costly repairs.
