A comprehensive combined building and pest inspection is highly recommended to protect your property investment and potentially save thousands of dollars on unforeseen repair bills. Conducted by Phillip Grahn, an experienced builder and licensed pest inspector local to Harrisdale WA and Regional WA, this service identifies major and minor property defects, structural issues, and signs of pest or termite activity. The inspection is completed in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007 and the Western Australia Building Act. The thorough visual assessment covers all accessible areas, including the interior and exterior of the building, roof space, under-floor space, garage, carport, garden shed, separate laundry or toilet, small retaining walls, steps, fencing, paths, driveways, and the roof exterior. During the pest inspection, Phillip tests for active termites and borer activity, looking for telltale signs such as hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes, bubbling or peeling paint, small entry holes, water damage, buckling walls or ceilings, maze-like designs, termite droppings, and swarms. You will receive a detailed digital PDF report within 24 hours—or sooner if arranged—featuring severity gradings for each defect and high-resolution color photographs. Raw photos with embedded geotags and date/time stamps are also available on demand. The inspection typically takes between 1-2 hours depending on property size. We recommend clients be present during the inspection so the inspector can communicate findings directly and address any specific areas of concern, ensuring complete peace of mind before you make your purchase.

The decision to purchase a new home is exciting but carries inherent risks. A thorough pre-purchase building inspection is designed to identify major and minor structural defects before you finalize your property purchase, potentially saving you from unexpected repair bills that can sometimes cost as much as $25,000. Conducted by Phillip Grahn, an independent, experienced local builder and franchise owner-operator in Harrisdale WA and Regional WA, this visual inspection assesses the structural integrity of the home in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007 and the Western Australia Building Act. The inspector meticulously examines all accessible areas, including the building's interior and exterior, roof space, under-floor space, roof exterior, garage, carport, garden shed, separate laundry or toilet, small non-structural retaining walls, steps, fencing, paths, and driveways. Findings are documented in a clear, easy-to-read digital PDF report complete with high-resolution color photographs and severity gradings for each identified defect. The comprehensive report is delivered within 24 hours of the inspection, and even sooner if arranged. Raw photos with embedded geotags and date/time stamps are also available on demand. We highly recommend that you are present during the inspection, making it easier for Phillip to communicate findings, show you points of concern, and pay extra attention to any specific items you are worried about, providing you with the critical information needed to make an informed decision.

A dedicated timber pest and termite inspection is a wise decision to protect your property investment from destructive pests and potentially save you thousands of dollars on repair bills. Conducted by Phillip Grahn, an experienced and licensed pest inspector servicing Harrisdale WA and Regional WA, this service thoroughly examines the property for signs of active termites, borers, and conditions conducive to future infestations. During the inspection, Phillip will be on the lookout for critical indicators of pest activity. This includes testing for a hollow sound when knocking on wooden structures, the appearance of mud tubes used for termite travel, bubbling or peeling paint on walls, small entry holes, and water damage, as termites are highly attracted to moisture. The assessment also checks for buckling walls or ceilings caused by weakened wooden foundations, maze-like designs in timber, termite droppings that resemble sawdust or coffee grounds, and the appearance of termite swarms. All accessible areas of the property are meticulously assessed. A detailed digital PDF report with high-resolution color photos is provided within 24 hours, or sooner if required. Raw photos with embedded geotags and date/time stamps are also available on demand. Phillip is available after you receive the report to answer your questions, ensuring you make an informed decision regarding the property's condition and any environments conducive to timber pests.
