Termite inspection

If the house you are considering buying has a termite infestation, its structural integrity could be seriously compromised. Our experienced pest inspectors will carry out a througher inspection of the property. Using thermal imaging technology, we can examine timber wall and floor cavities and the roof to uncover potential areas of concern.

Our inspection will also identify these nasties:

⦁ Cockroaches
⦁ Spiders
⦁ Ants
⦁ Fleas
⦁ Rats
⦁ Mice
⦁ Birds
⦁ And many other pests…

Having a pre-purchase building inspection carried out, gives you peace of mind knowing your new home will not depreciate in value due to any major faults or structural issues.
