Why do I need an inspection?
A surprising number of people purchase property without an inspection and have become aware of possible defects after the investment was made. If you were buying a car, would you purchase without finding out if it had any mechanical issues? Hopefully not. The same goes with a new building or home. It is important to understand what is wrong, and whether there are structural issues or pest problems, before agreeing to a purchase.
Building Inspection Overview
The building inspection we perform will be a thorough, detailed inspection and we will ensure the property is checked from top to bottom. The report will comment on any structural damage which is found by our licensed inspectors, as well as defects in the secondary elements of the property. Not only does the report detail the property we are inspecting, but also all construction materials which were used in the construction. We will also include any areas which we believe may need further analysis.
General Building Inspection Details
Our building inspection will include the following:
- Photographs of problem areas, to detail issues or areas of concern which we have to work on.
- Interior and exterior of the building.
- Roof space, under-floor space, and roof exterior.
- Garage and garden shed.
- Laundry or toilet area.
These, and any other individual areas which must be inspected, will be fully detailed in our report, along with photos of areas which require immediate attention. Reports are typically printed and given back to you within a period of 48 hours.
Pest Inspections
Our pest inspection component covers a visual and thermal imaging analysis for timber pests and termites on your property. We will perform conductive inspections for areas which are prone to damage, include information about risks and our suggested services, if pests are found on the property.
The inspection includes:
- A visual and thermal imaging analysis of readily accessible areas of the home for evidence of damage or termite/pest activity.
- Interior and exterior areas will be conducted.
- Accessible roof cavities and sub-floor areas are inspected.
Following the inspection, a report will be completed, and provided the next morning, or within a couple of days to the customer. In most cases, the process typically lasts for 1 – 2 hours, but may be longer or shorter, based on the condition of the property, size, and areas which are being inspected.

Treatment
Upon receiving our report, customers have the option to have our team return, to treat the infestation. Treatment will vary in each case, based on the type of damage, the type of pest being treated, and the area of infestation.
Some methods we employ when treating termites and other pests include:
- Chemical treatment for subterranean termites.
- In ground baiting systems.
- Control sprays, to eliminate, or prevent pests from becoming a problem on your property.
The treatment methods will vary, and we will provide customers with a full detailed report of any work we have to do, following the visual inspection for termites and pests. Depending on the level of infestation, where the infestation is found, and what type of pests are found, we will suggest any number of treatment methods to produce the best possible outcome when attempting to eradicate the pests from the property.
