What is a building and pest inspection?
A building and pest inspection is a visual assessment of a property looking for building defects and any evidence of termite activity. To do this, the building and pest inspector looks for major and minor building defects. It also looks for safety hazards that may affect the liability of the property. The inspector will also check the property for any evidence of termite activity and termite damage – both past and present.
Termites can do an incredible amount of damage which can cost thousands to repair. That's why it's so important to get a building and pest inspection to ensure you don't buy a house with significant termite damage.
What's included in my Bundaberg Building and Pest Inspection?
A quality building and pest inspector will check all accessible areas within 30 meters of the home. This is in accordance with Australian Standards and Queensland Building and Construction Commission guidelines. This can include areas such as garages, sheds, fences, retaining walls and carports. If it’s safe to do so, the inspector will also check the roof void, roof and subfloor.
During a building and pest inspection, the home is also checked with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera. This equipment allows our inspectors to identify abnormal moisture readings and other anomalies that may be unseen to the naked eye. Such as heat spots behind walls that indicate high termite activity.
Once completed, the inspector’s findings are collated into an easy-to-read report with coloured photos of the defects. At Local Inspections, we provide fast reporting within 24 hours of the inspection taking place.
