Building and Timber Pest Inspection
Whether you are buying, selling or attending an auction, a building and timber pest inspection is vital to give you the insight that you need.
What is a Building & Pest Inspection?
A building and pest Inspection is a visual property inspection that is usually performed prior to finalising a property purchase. In Queensland it is generally a condition of your purchase contract that you are satisfied with the outcome of the building and pest inspection.
Pre-Purchase Building and Pest Inspection
An expert, experienced builder will visually inspect the property to look for structural issues, safety issues, maintenance issues, and any signs of termite activity.
Pre-Sale Building and Pest Inspection
It has also become common practice in Queensland for sellers to get a building and timber pest inspection. This is a great idea before listing a property so that the seller is aware of any defects that might come up when a buyer comes along and has an inspection. The seller can then choose to fix defects or price the property accordingly.
Pre-Auction Building and Pest Inspection
In Queensland an auction is final, so it is imperative to get an independent building and pest inspection prior to bidding.

Why is a Building and Pest Inspection Important?
Identify Safety Hazards
Safety defects are classified as any defects that have the potential to cause harm to persons if not rectified immediately. Safety defects could be an issue with high windows, stairs, balustrades just to name a few.
Major Defects
A major defect should be repaired immediately. Failure to repair can cause further damage to the property or affect the liveability of the property. It can also be a defect to a major structural component of the building.
Minor Defects
Owning a property is not without the need to do regular maintenance. By definition, a minor defect is a maintenance issue that should be addressed at some time in the future to maintain the upkeep of the property.
Timber Pests
The property is assessed for any visual signs of termite activity, make recommendations on conducive conditions and report on whether the property has a current termite management plan.
Dedant use the latest technology
Flir Thermal Imaging Camera
Flir thermal camera (FLIR E8- XT) is the perfect tool for diagnosing temperature anomalies inside a building. This equipment will indicate hot spots and cold spots, possibly indicating a large termite nest hidden in the wall cavity, leaking pipes behind a wall and leaking showers.
Termatrac T3i All Sensor
Using radar technology, relative and direct moisture sensor as well as a thermal sensor, the T3i All Sensor was designed to help operators locate, confirm and track the presence and extent of termite and other pest activity. Used with an invasive inspection to determine termite activity.
Tramax Moisture Meter
Tramax moisture meter is the leading tool in moisture detection. High moisture levels could indicate leaking pipes, poor ventilation, ineffective drainage, leaking roof or defective flashing. Damp timber within wall cavities is also very attractive to termites.
