Building Inspections

The quality of a property is something that is hard to gauge. A lot of faults in properties are hidden to the uneducated and even educated eye. When having Building and Pest Inspection services inspect a property for you, the thorough analysis of the property including sub floor and roof space allows you to be confident in the property you are going to be purchasing. We make sure that you aren't spending your money on properties that will shock you with necessary renovations and other surprises in future.

What your report includes

We provide thorough analysis of the floors, walls as well as the roof structure and sub flooring. We will let you know about any dampness in the properties structures as well as any deformation, movement and/or cracking. We will also advise if other inspections are needed such as Electrical inspections, plumbing inspections or in the case of structural issues and engineer.

As well as providing a detailed report on the current state of the buildings we also give you our prediction of the future problems that a structure may encounter. This including any issues with the plumbing or flashings which can cause long term issues in the properties stability and can lead to out of pocket expenses if found after purchase.

We ensure that items which do not comply with current building standards such as incorrect and unsafe construction or temporary repairs which are likely to become unsatisfactory in future will be detailed in our reports.

Basically anything that can decrease the value of a property we will attempt to identify in our reports, ensuring that when you purchase a property you don't have any unwanted surprises after the contract is signed.

Timber Pest Inspections

Our Timber Pest Inspections are just as comprehensive and thorough as our Building Inspections. We report on pest infestations throughout the entire dwelling and site, the presence of fungi as well as any delignification due to chemicals. Just like the Building Inspection reports we offer advice on things that may lead to timber pest issues in the future. Our team checks all accessible timber for termite infestations and spots any risk that structures may have of future infestations.

Timber pests are common in structures which have:

Excessive moisture

Inadequate ventilation in a sub floor area

Timbers that are untreated and unsuitable for the environment

Bridged or faulty termite barriers in place

Brick veneer dwellings

Out of date termite barrier systems

Leaking showers

Not only will the reports alert you to current and future issues but they will also inform you of past problems which have or have not caused structural damage.
