Lian Building and Pest Inspections

View service coverage

Our combined Building and Pest Inspections provide end-to-end coverage of your property's structure and pest status, giving buyers the most complete due diligence before settlement. Recognized as the best value before settlement, this service gives you the complete picture in one comprehensive report. Every inspection is completed by licensed Brisbane building inspectors who follow a strict and comprehensive checklist. We thoroughly check site and external areas for drainage, cracking, and footing movement; the roof exterior for cracked tiles, faulty flashings, and rusting sheet roofs; the subfloor for termite damage, poor stumps, and water leaks; the interior for wall and ceiling cracks, timber damage, and signs of moisture; the roof space for framing, leaks, and insulation; and safety hazards like trip risks, non-compliant balustrades, and visible electrical concerns. A standard inspection usually takes 1–2 hours. Our inspectors use advanced devices to remove guesswork, including the Termatrac T3i Radar to detect movement through walls and floors, thermal imaging to identify abnormal heat patterns signaling leaks or pest nests, and moisture sensors to pinpoint dampness. We grade issues as monitor, repair, or specialist action. Your guaranteed same-day PDF report is delivered within business hours, written in plain English, and includes clear photos with actionable steps.
