Why Should You Schedule a Building Pest Inspection for Your Home?
Identify Hidden Problems
Early inspection helps uncover termite tunnels, moisture damage beneath flooring, and structural defects. Our inspectors detect issues invisible to the untrained eye, such as weakened timber frames, rising damp or rodent activity. Identifying these problems early allows for timely, affordable repairs.
Negotiate a Better Price
With a professional inspection report in hand, you gain clear evidence to support negotiations or request repairs. Whether the issue is timber rot, termite activity or structural movement, an independent report gives you a strong advantage during price discussions.
Make Informed Decisions
Whether you're buying or selling, knowing the true condition of a property is essential. A comprehensive report outlines existing defects, estimated repair costs, and pest risks. This transparency promotes informed choices, clear communication with agents, and smoother transactions.
We Inspect the Following Areas
Interior
We assess all internal rooms, including kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, wardrobes, hallways and storage spaces. We check for pest signs like droppings, live insects or nests, and for structural issues such as cracking, sagging or moisture staining. Access panels and inspection hatches are opened where possible.
Exterior
Our team inspects the building’s outer surfaces—brickwork, render, cladding, window seals, eaves, gutters and vents. We identify pest entry points, visible damage, cracks and weathering that could signal structural or infestation risks.
Roof Space
Where accessible, the roof void is inspected. This space often reveals early signs of pests such as termite mud tubes, rodent droppings, or structural decay like wood rot and damaged rafters.
Floor Space
At homes with crawlspaces or raised floors, we inspect beneath the property for nests, fungal growth, moisture build-up and structural sagging. We pay close attention to timber in contact with the soil and damp or termite-affected zones.
Around the Building
We assess the property perimeter up to 50 metres from the house, including garden beds, timber structures, fences, sheds and retaining walls. These are common nesting sites or access points for pests such as termites.

Very thorough inspection done by Ben. As soon as he’s there he gets all his equipment out - drones, thermocam, etc. Report is out on the day. Does not waste time and gets the job done. Would not get the same inspection with the same amount of price. Thanks.
