Building and Pest Pre purchase Inspection

Combining the Pest and Building inspection reports provides the most comprehensive inspection service and is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for properties in the Albury Wodonga area as it covers both building defects and timber pests.

It is estimated that one in five homes in this area has had some form of termite damage. Timber elements are present in the construction of most homes and are at HIGH RISK of termite attack.

Termites, Wood Decay Fungi (Wood rot) and Wood Borers considered timber pests.
They can weaken timber structures such as walls, roof and floor frames, decks, handrails, timber retaining walls and external step.
