Inspection Aid / Inspect 24 Seven

View service coverage

Inspection Aid provides independent combined building and timber pest inspections and reports for homeowners and investors in Adelaide and surrounding suburbs. A pre-purchase building and timber pest inspection is highly recommended on any property you own or are thinking of purchasing. Without this crucial assessment, you won’t know the full condition of the property, whether it has been well maintained, or if it has significant issues requiring substantial repairs. Our service provides you with sufficient information to understand potential problems, safeguarding you from unexpected and substantial outlays in both time and money down the track. Prepared in compliance with the latest Australian Standard (AS 4349.1), our comprehensive and independent reports detail the building’s condition to inform you of major structural defects and other significant issues such as rising damp, poor site drainage, cracking, active termites, and termite damage. The report describes the condition of various building components and external structures, explains existing problems, advises on repairs, and indicates remedial or maintenance requirements. It also contains photos of notable items and a glossary of technical terms. Our inspectors are fully licensed by the SA Health Department, fully insured, and utilize the latest inspection devices, including Flir thermal imaging cameras, Termatrac termite motion sensors, and Tramex moisture meters, ensuring nothing is missed. Where reasonable access is available, we inspect the property interior and exterior, roof void and exterior, subfloor, and the whole site including gardens and fencing. We provide professional, unbiased advice with your best interests in mind, offer a 24-hour turnaround when required, and invite all clients to attend the inspection.

Inspection Aid provides comprehensive timber pest and termite inspections for homeowners and investors in Adelaide. Our inspectors are highly trained, fully insured, and licensed by the SA Health Department to conduct your timber pest inspection in strict accordance with Australian Standard AS 3660. This service involves a careful and thorough examination of the property, focusing on identifying and reporting evidence of active termites, termite damage and workings, wood rot, borers, conditions conducive to timber pests, evidence of existing pest management systems, and risk management options. During the inspection, we conduct a detailed examination of timbers and other accessible materials or areas susceptible to attack by termites and other timber pests. This includes inspecting timbers in the load-bearing framework of the building, such as bearers, joists, and rafters, as well as joinery and finishes like mouldings, architraves, skirtings, doors, windows, and cupboards. We also thoroughly inspect wood and wood products in outdoor areas, including landscaping timbers, fences, logs, pool surrounds, garden boxes, firewood, paving blocks, sleepers, tree stumps, and trees. Furthermore, we assess surface work to foundation soils, walls, services, and any other visible susceptible timber materials like pergolas, bridges, builder’s debris, and stored items containing cellulose. To ensure nothing is missed, our inspectors utilize the latest advanced detection devices, including Flir thermal imaging cameras, Termatrac termite motion sensors, and Tramex moisture meters. The findings are compiled into an easy-to-understand report that may also highlight the need for ongoing termite management. With our professional and unbiased advice, you can make informed decisions regarding your property's timber pest risks.
