What’s Involved in Building Pest Inspections?
Site Conditions Report
When you schedule one of our building and pest inspections Brisbane wide, we begin by examining the general condition of the property. Our building and pest inspection report highlights features such as gardens, trees, and potential foundation issues. We check for seepage and other early signs of damage, giving both you and our inspector a clear understanding of your property’s state.
Full Structural Point by Point Check
We take the time to conduct a detailed assessment of the building’s structure, including hidden areas like crawlspaces and the roof void. All findings are carefully documented in your building and pest report, ensuring you receive a comprehensive overview of your property.
Movement and Stability Issues
During this stage of our building and pest inspections Brisbane wide, we identify any structural problems with the building itself, from minor cracks to major damage caused by pests, weather, or poor construction. Our report documents our findings in detail and also provides practical advice on remedial actions to safeguard your investment.
External Property Inspection
We inspect every part of the property exterior, including the roof, walls, decks, and balconies – even down to the materials used during construction. Using ladders and advanced tools, we ensure hard-to-reach areas are examined thoroughly and findings are included in your detailed building and pest inspection report.
Internal Property Inspection
Inside the home, we check every room for evidence of pests, moisture, and operational issues. Our cutting-edge thermal imaging and moisture meters help our inspectors detect any hidden problems. Your building and pest report will also outline potential ongoing costs and safety concerns.
Safety Items
To ensure your property is 100% safe, our building and pest inspections cover all safety hazards, including faulty wiring, loose handrails, plumbing issues, and termite-related structural damage. Your detailed report highlights any risks, whether your property is safe to occupy in its current condition, and suggests actions to keep your property safe.
Summary
At the end of your pre purchase building and pest inspection, you receive a detailed report summarising all findings. While we do not perform repairs, our advice helps you make informed decisions, including negotiating repairs or price adjustments. We also provide a grading of your property – our grading system compares your property to buildings of a similar age to give perspective on its condition.
