Our services: We’re here for you.

Home & property inspections

During our home inspections, we will walk with you around your home and property, systematically scanning for any vulnerabilities that will put you at risk.

Our assessment covers:

  • Your home: gutters, eaves, breathing vents, walls, doors, windows, ledges or sills, stilts, decks/verandas, utilities, and existing fire suppression systems. Note that we currently do not cover the inspection of roof spaces, but will provide guidance on how to reduce the risk within your roof space.

  • Your garden: trees/shrubs, fine fuels, access to fire trucks.

  • Other structures: sheds, carports/garages, wood storage, stables, and other structures.

We will explain the process and the findings directly, and provide you with a written report within seven days after the inspection. Our detailed reports include:

  • an overview of bushfire behaviour and general principles for risk reduction;

  • your specific risk findings: what aspects we identified, why they are a risk, and what you can do about these risks; and

  • resources for risk reduction: we provide you with a list of suitable measures and suppliers, thereby making it easy for you to enact our recommendations.

Firewise inspections are an excellent way to invest in the protection of yourself, the persons you love, and the things you value!
