Warranty Inspections for New Buildings

Pest infestations can cause significant damage to properties, leading to costly repairs and health risks. To protect your investment, it’s essential to conduct thorough pre-purchase and yearly pest inspections. At Total Inspection, we specialize in comprehensive pest inspection services that comply with Australian Standards, ensuring your home or business remains safe and pest-free.

The Importance of Pest Inspections

Whether you’re buying a new home or maintaining your existing property, pest inspections play a vital role in safeguarding your investment. Here’s why regular pest inspections are essential:

Early Detection

Identifying pest infestations early can prevent extensive damage and reduce treatment costs.
Peace of Mind

Knowing your property is free from pests allows you to enjoy your home or run your business without worry.
Informed Decisions

For homebuyers, a pre-purchase pest inspection provides critical information about any existing infestations, helping you make informed decisions.
Compliance with Standards

Regular inspections ensure your property meets health and safety regulations, protecting both your investment and the well-being of occupants.

Pre-Purchase Pest Inspections

A pre-purchase pest inspection is a crucial step in the home-buying process. This inspection focuses on identifying any pest-related issues before you finalize your purchase. Our inspection process includes:

Comprehensive Assessment

Our team of experienced inspectors thoroughly examines the property, focusing on key areas where pests commonly hide, such as:

Roof Spaces

We inspect for signs of termites and other pests in the roof cavity, which can lead to significant structural damage.
Subfloor Areas

We evaluate the subfloor for moisture issues and pest activity, including termites and rodents.
External Areas

We check the exterior of the property for potential entry points and signs of pest infestations.

Detailed Reporting

After the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing our findings. This report includes:

Identification of Pests

We provide a list of any pests detected, including termites, and other timber pest.
Damage Assessment

Our inspectors assess any damage caused by pests, allowing you to understand the extent of the issue.
Recommendations for Treatment

We offer actionable recommendations for pest control measures to address any identified infestations.

Yearly Pest Inspections

To maintain a pest-free environment, we recommend annual pest inspections for all properties. Regular inspections help ensure that your home or business remains safe from pests. Our yearly pest inspection services include:

Thorough Examination

During yearly inspections, our trained professionals perform a comprehensive assessment, which includes:

Interior Inspection

We examine the interior spaces for signs of pest activity, including droppings, nesting materials, and damage to walls or furnishings.
Exterior Inspection

Our team checks the property’s exterior, looking for signs of pests and identifying potential entry points that need sealing.
Moisture Assessment

We evaluate areas prone to moisture, as excess humidity can attract pests.

Ongoing Monitoring

With yearly pest inspections, we provide ongoing monitoring of your property. This helps to:

Identify Trends

By tracking pest activity over time, we can identify trends and make timely recommendations for treatment and prevention.
Implement Preventative Measures

We work with you to implement effective pest management strategies to minimize the risk of future infestations.
