HomeMasters offers rigorous pre-purchase timber pest inspections in Adelaide to protect homebuyers from the devastating structural damage caused by termites and other timber pests. Termites cause over $100 million of property damage each year in Australia, and because this damage is not usually covered by home insurance, an independent pre-purchase inspection is a vital investment. Conducted by our in-house expert pest technicians, the inspection meets all requirements of Australian Standards AS 4349.3 and AS 3660. The comprehensive assessment goes beyond just termites, also checking for borers, fungal decay, rats, mice, possums, spiders, ants, and cockroaches. Inspectors actively look for termite workings, damage, and conducive conditions such as excessive moisture or poor drainage. The rigorous process includes knock testing all visible and accessible timbers, including the roof space. We also conduct moisture testing on walls and skirtings; since termites are around 70% moisture, high readings in supposedly dry substrates are a strong indicator of their presence. Furthermore, we check surrounding trees up to 50 meters from the main dwelling and inspect the meterbox for labels indicating prior treatments. If active termites or prior treatments are located, the inspector provides detailed advice on the species, potential damage, the chemical used, and necessary eradication or barrier treatments.

Beyond Built Pest Inspections are meticulously carried out for both existing and new homes to identify timber pest activity within the building and its immediate surrounds. The inspection is conducted in strict accordance with Australian Standards AS4349.3-2010 (Inspection of buildings Part 3: Timber pest inspections) and AS 3660 for timber pests. Using a full array of the latest testing equipment, including thermal imaging camera technology, moisture meters, and stethoscopes, our certified pest inspectors uncover hidden threats that the untrained eye simply cannot see. We thoroughly check for present termite activity, previous termite activity, and signs of past treatments or inadequately repaired damage. For relatively new homes, this service is essential to help maintain builder warranties through mandatory annual checks. Because we are not in the business of treating white ants or pests, we have no ulterior motive to sell you a product or service you may not need. However, if treatment is required, we will refer you to the best relevant businesses in Adelaide tailored to your home's specific needs. A comprehensive, detailed report is provided on the same day to help buyers avoid the heartache and expense of spending thousands of dollars fixing a termite-infested home.

Pre-Purchase Pest & Termite Inspection

Houspect in South Australia refers all pest inspections to independent professional termite inspection companies. They will inspect for evidence of old termite activity as well as current infestations and will document any infestations and any visible damage caused by the termites. The inspection report may also describe whether a termite barrier exists on the property and whether any remedial control programs have been put in place. Houspect checks the termite and pest inspection companies it refers for their qualifications, professionalism, communication skills and insurance cover. We know that trying to juggle times with agents, owners and tenants can be frustrating, so if you choose, we can book an inspection on your behalf. Termites can quickly damage a property. They can travel many metres to find timber to feed on and within a short time, a timber frame can be damaged and even lose its structural integrity. It can be very difficult to identify a termite infestation, because they travel underground and often enter a building unseen. This is why a regular termite inspection is important, so that any signs of termites can be detected early on and a termite control program initiated. No new property owner wants to be faced with an unexpected termite infestation and the costs involved in repairing the damage. The current owners of the property may have no idea that they have a termite infestation, so it pays to do your own due diligence before you make your final decision. Also, many financial institutions won’t lend money to purchase a property without a professional pest inspection report.

We strongly recommend conducting a pest inspection before finalizing the purchase of your property. A thorough pest inspection, combined with a building inspection during a convenient single visit, ensures that you make an informed decision about your investment. Our visual pest inspection and detailed report adhere to the Australian Standard (AS 4349.3). This comprehensive pest inspection report will identify any areas of concern, including conducive conditions that could attract termites and other pests. The inspection is primarily a visual examination of readily accessible areas and timbers across all buildings and relevant structures on the site, extending to at least 30 meters. Furthermore, we supplement this visual inspection with limited non-visual techniques, such as sounding procedures and the use of a moisture meter. Moisture meters are effective tools that detect moisture in walls and other structures. However, it’s important to note that they do not identify the cause of moisture issues. That said, the presence of moisture could indicate potential termite activity.
