Our team at Building and Pest Inspection Brisbane South have saved thousands of home buyers from paying full price for properties based on the findings in our report. When choosing a building and pest inspector, we recommend choosing an experienced QBCC registered builder and checking their sample report, so you know what to expect.

Buying a property whether it’s your first or your tenth, is a large financial investment, one you must take all precautions with. Investing in a reputable building and pest inspector gives you peace of mind. 

We promise to take all due care and represent your interests. That’s why so many property professionals choose and recommend our services including Buyer’s Agents, Mortgage Brokers and Conveyancers. Our team at Building and Pest Inspection Brisbane South undertake building inspections in accordance to Australian standards 4349.1 and beyond. All our builders are experienced and fully insured and will provide you not only with a detailed report, but a phone call after the inspection to discuss findings. Our team here at Building and Pest Inspection Brisbane South inspect all accessible areas of both the interior and exterior of the property. These will include the bathrooms, laundry, kitchen, wet areas, yard, masonry walls, subfloor, roof void and roof exteriors plus electrical and plumbing checks that we can do by law. 

With over 10 years of experience, knowledge and state-of-the-art tools, we will carefully check for moisture problems inside the wall cavities, around doors, windows, ceilings, bathrooms, kitchen and laundry. Finding areas with high moisture is important as it is the root cause of more than 80% of money spent maintaining properties relates to moisture problems. This includes termite damage repairs because termites are attracted to moist timber. 

Major defects we find generally fall into three main categories:

1. structural defects such as subsidence evidenced by significant cracking or movement to walls, uneven floors or stumps; or
2. high moisture in wall cavities due to leaks, which we locate using a moisture meter; or
3. live termites, or termite damage to a range of timbers, including flooring, structural and decorative timbers. 

For pest inspections, our team will do a full visual inspection to Australian standards 4349.3, equipped with the latest Termite Detection Technology. After we have done a comprehensive inspection of the building, we will then benchmark the defects found at the property you’re looking to purchase with other properties that are similar.
