About Benowa
Benowa built its reputation in the 1970s and 80s with big single-level brick homes on wide blocks, and along the canals of Benowa Waters. Many remain largely original behind updated facades: first-generation wet areas, original roofing and decades of additions and renovations layered over each other — exactly the conditions where a methodical inspection earns its keep.
The suburb's lush, established gardens are part of its appeal and part of its risk: heavy vegetation, garden beds built up over slab edges and mature trees near footings all feed the timber pest assessment. On the canal streets we also look closely at retaining structures, drainage and the behaviour of slabs on waterfront fill.
