The Results of a Building and Pest Inspection in Forest Lake

Every house and pest inspection we conduct follows Australian Standards and utilises the best technology available. Our inspectors arrive with high-sensitivity thermal cameras to look beneath the surface of your property, making sure that we detect issues others might miss.

The resulting report, which will be stored on the cloud for continued easy access by you, will include:

  • A detailed structural assessment of all accessible areas
  • Details of the pest inspection, including evidence of termites
  • Thermal imaging results highlighting moisture and pest activity
  • Clear, easy-to-understand findings with photographic evidence
  • Professional recommendations for any identified issues

We welcome you to join us during the inspection. Our inspector will explain their findings on-site, making certain that you understand every aspect of your potential investment.
