Burnell Building Inspections Melbourne provides comprehensive Building and Timber Pest Inspections to ensure the structural integrity of your property and detect any hidden pest issues. Pests such as termites, rodents, or wood-boring insects can hide in the nooks and crannies of a house, making it difficult for an untrained eye to spot the infestation. These pests can cause severe damage to the structure of a property, leading to expensive repairs or even rendering the house uninhabitable. Our expert inspectors, with over 30 years of building industry experience, utilize state-of-the-art, non-invasive technology like Termatrac. Termatrac employs radar and thermal sensors to detect pests accurately without the need for intrusive measures or physical probing that can cause damage to structures. Following the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report within 4 hours, detailing any structural defects, moisture issues, and pest presence. The report includes detailed descriptions of any issues discovered, accompanied by supporting photographs, diagrams, and measurements to help you understand the severity of each identified problem. Every inspector is a trade expert, a qualified building inspector, and a licensed timber pest inspector. We are fully versed in the Building Code of Australia (NCC/BCA), relevant Australian Standards, and Victorian Building Authorities acceptable standards and tolerances, ensuring you have the information you need to make informed decisions.
