What We Offer

Our detailed building and pest reports provide you with a checklist of maintenance items and trades required for repairs and are useful for renegotiating a price. Our team at Building and Pest Inspection Moreton Bay have saved plenty of home buyers from paying an unreasonable price for properties, based on the findings from our reports. When choosing a building and pest inspector, you should choose a QBCC registered builder and check their sample report, so you know what to expect. Some of our competitors provide 4-page reports without photos that do not classify defects properly. Buying a property whether it’s your first or your tenth, is a huge financial investment, one you simply cannot cut corners with. Investing in a reputable building and pest inspector will give you peace of mind when moving forward with your purchase. 

With each and every inspection, we promise to take 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 Moreton Bay 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 call straight after the inspection to discuss findings. Our team here at Building and Pest Inspection Moreton Bay 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 and knowledge, we will carefully check for moisture problems inside the wall cavities, around doors, windows, ceilings, bathrooms, kitchen and laundry. Finding areas of high moisture will show us areas that will cost the most to repair. It is also important to note that this also includes termite damage as 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 an inspection of the building, we will then benchmark the defects found at the property you’re looking to purchase with other properties of a similar build and age.
