A building inspection is often combined with a pest inspection and is referred to as a building and pest inspection. Buying a home with termite activity or structural defects can involve significant additional costs, especially since termites are a part of life in Australia and can do significant damage to the timber structure of any home. The pest inspection provides advice about timber pest activity at the property. It assesses the risk of a pest infestation and provides information about current or past timber pest attacks by subterranean and dampwood termites (white ants), borers of seasoned timber, and wood decay fungi (rot). The building inspection will cover all aspects of the property from external to internal, checking for signs of potential damage and health risks such as wood rot, cracks, leaks, mould, decay, broken pailings or tiling, and structural failings. Our inspection will identify hazards and damages before they become a major concern to your safety and potentially cause financial distress. We liaise with agents, vendors, and property managers for access to a property. Our team of building and pest inspectors are licensed and fully insured.
