Our Twin Home Inspectors go through the property in different directions and tip each other off to areas of concern.
Same Day Digital Building Inspections Brisbane and Pest Inspection Reports
Additionally we have invested a lot of money to make our Pre Purchase Property Inspections completely paperless. This speeds up efficiency (In the office and out in the field) which means we can get the reports to you a lot faster. The secret is in our digital Building Pest Inspection report which is completed onsite and includes photos of all the areas of concern. So Each Inspection Report is then quickly sent back to the office where they are quality control checked and then sent off to you. We say “same day” reports but it’s more like a four hour turn around. This really is an advantage especially when you find a last minute auction and need everything fast. We are the home inspection company to go to.

Does the Building Pest Inspections Cover Asbestos?
We are not licensed Asbestos Inspectors. If we cannot give you a definitive answer if a panel or building material is made up of Asbestos During your Building Pest Inspection. If the Building Inspector sees what they believe is damaged or dangerous asbestos material. He will recommend the services of a professional Asbestos Company to inspect and test the area of concern. Also There are certain characteristics for qld dwellings that will give us an indication on if building materials will be made up Asbestos. These are things like age of the property, building type and suburb it is in.
During the Brisbane Building Pest Inspection What happens if we find Active termites.
When we find Active Termites. We can arrange a fast onsite quote to treat the Termites and to further protect the house with a Termite Barrier. To get the best results we highly recommend not to disturb the termites. The Termite Treatment is quite simple provided we get good access to the active termites.
We use a chemical called Termidor which is safe for family and pets. It has a unique transfer effect where the termites pass it onto one another through communication and grooming. Because they can’t detect it, the termites are not aware of ingesting the product when they eat. They go about their activities and will still be killed by contact with Termidor even when they are not feeding.
Our Termite Barrier treatments are backed with warranties. So you have peace of mind knowing we are doing the job properly.
From there you can further protect the property with a Termite Barrier. So this all depends on the construction type, dampness of the soil and gardens/plants which surround the house. In fact not all homes need a barrier and our Pest Inspector can explain how you rate of the Termite Risk Factor.
