Combined Building and Timber Pest Inspection
Description
Have complete peace of mind before you buy with our cost-saving Combined Building and Timber Pest Inspection, often referred to as our 'Rolls Royce' package. This comprehensive service provides you with essential knowledge of your prospective property's condition before finalizing any contract or bidding at auction. We utilize state-of-the-art thermal imaging, bore scope cameras, and moisture detection equipment to uncover hidden issues such as water leaks, waterproofing defects, and timber pest infestations. The inspection rigorously checks for structural defects stemming from footings and underlying foundation issues, degraded roofing or poorly detailed flashings, insufficient roof drainage, and poor site drainage. We also identify safety hazards like unsafe stair railings, impact risks from unsafe glazing, concealed leaks from wet areas, rising or lateral damp, sagging ceiling linings, under-engineered retaining walls, and significant timber pest infestations that can compromise structural integrity. You will receive two highly detailed, easy-to-read reports featuring full-color photographs, conducted to Australian Standards 4349.1 and 4349.3. Completed by our chief building and pest inspector, these reports could save you tens of thousands of dollars in hidden repairs and help you sidestep potential pain from insurance companies, as policies often exclude pre-existing termite damage or significant wear and tear. The service also includes ongoing phone consultation before and after the inspection to ensure you are fully informed.
