Dedant Building and Pest Inspections has been requested to conduct an invasive inspection at your property. Please read the following information about this type of inspection and fill out the agreement to show you understand the nature of this inspection and that it will create patched areas that will not be repaired.
When in an invasive inspection recommended?
An invasive inspection is recommended when there is evidence of termite activity at a property or conducive conditions for termites inside the building, such as high moisture.
What is the purpose of an invasive inspection?
The purpose of the invasive inspection is to investigate an area that is not seen during a ‘visual only’ inspection for signs of termite activity, damage or wood rot.
How is the invasive inspection conducted?
An invasive inspection usually involves drilling small holes into the wall (around the size of 20c piece) and inserting a borescope camera to see what is happening in the wall cavity. Vision is limited by the studs and noggins behind the wall, so it will usually take a number of holes to get enough vision of the area.
Will the holes be repaired by Dedant?
The inspector will not make full rectification to the location. A small amount of plaster filler will be applied to the holes.
Once this is dry, it will need to be sanded back and then painted to match the wall.
