Building Inspection
A building inspection helps identify any structural problems with the property, such as cracks in the walls or foundation, roof damage, plumbing issues and other defects. This information allows you to make an informed decision about the property’s condition and the potential costs of repairs or maintenance.
A building inspection can identify potential safety hazards, such as unstable or poorly built structures connected to or around the building, or hazardous materials like asbestos. Uncovering these issues allows you to take appropriate measures with the assistance of a licensed builder to address them and ensure the safety of you and your family.
Pre purchase building inspections are a visual inspection only and do not usually make comment on building code or standards. An experienced building inspector will mention building code non compliance that present safety issues such as handrail height below minimum requirements, large gaps in balustrades, step tread size and ventilation issues in internal wet areas. Compliance with these regulations ensures that you are fully aware of the property’s condition and potential risks.
Overall, a building inspection is crucial to protect your investment, make an informed decision with regards to the overall condition of the building and avoid unforeseen financial burdens associated with structural issues. It provides peace of mind and helps you ensure that the property you are purchasing is in a suitable condition for your needs.
Timber Pest Inspection
Queensland is known for its warm and humid climate, which provides ideal conditions for timber pests to thrive. Timber pest activity in the region can cause extensive damage to wooden structures, including houses. A timber pest inspection helps identify any existing activity or potential risks.
Termites feed on cellulose-based materials, such as wood, and can cause significant structural damage to buildings. A termite inspection prior to purchase of a property will locate any activity, whether old or active and will give advice on conditions around the building that may attract termites.
Timber decay weakens the structural integrity of timber components in buildings. When decay-causing fungi or organisms attack the timber, they break down its cellular structure, causing it to lose strength. Decay can affect the stability of stairs, decks, and other elevated areas, increasing the risk of falls and injury.
Wood borers can cause damage to wooden flooring, especially if the floorboards are made of susceptible timber species. They can create tunnels within the floorboards, resulting in weakened or damaged flooring.
Wood borers can also target roofing timbers such as rafters and ceiling joists. Wood borers may attack the roof timbers from the inside, making detection more challenging. Signs of infestation can include exit holes, frass (sawdust-like waste material), or weakened timbers.
The Best Building and Pest provides both building and timber pest inspection simultaneously. This allows for personalised attention and direct communication with the one inspector.
