FAQ

Building and Pest Inspections in Werribee: common questions

Will a building and pest inspection prove there are no termites?

No inspection can guarantee that. AS 4349.3 is a visual inspection of accessible areas, and termites work out of sight. We report activity, damage and the conditions that make an attack more likely, and we never treat the property ourselves.

What is left out of a Werribee building and pest inspection?

Areas we cannot get to safely, concealed framing, anything behind fixed linings or furniture, electrical, gas and plumbing testing, appliances, pools, asbestos and mould testing, and any treatment. The report lists what was not accessible on the day.

Is it worth it on a newer Werribee house?

Usually yes. Once landscaping and paving go in, the termite protection the builder installed can be bridged within a few years, and that is exactly what this inspection looks for.
