Building and Pest Inspection
Estimated arrival time: Within 24 hours
Description
A Building and Pest Inspection in Rockingham is a comprehensive service designed to identify property defects and signs of pest or termite activity. Conducted by an experienced builder and licensed pest inspector, this combined inspection provides a thorough visual assessment of all accessible areas of the property. The inspection covers the interior and exterior of the building, roof space, garage, carport, garden shed, separate laundry or toilet, small non-structural retaining walls, steps, fencing, paths, driveways, roof exterior, and under-floor space. Taking between one to two hours depending on the property size, the inspection tests for pests, termites, and borer activity. The inspector will actively look for telltale signs of infestation, such as hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes, bubbling or peeling paint, small entry holes, water damage, buckling walls or ceilings, maze-like designs in timber, termite droppings, and swarms. Following the assessment, you will receive a detailed digital report in PDF format within 24 hours, or sooner if arranged. The report grades the severity of each identified defect, alerts you to conditions conducive to pest activity, and includes high-resolution color photographs. Raw photos with embedded Geotags and date/time stamps are also available on demand. Completed in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007 and the Western Australia Building Act, this service ensures you are fully informed about the structural viability and pest status of your property.
