What is the difference between a building and timber pest termite inspection?

Many people believe that a pre-purchase residential or commercial building inspection includes looking for termites – but they are incorrect. A building inspection should identify any visual damage, maintenance or defective workmanship in and around the building.

A timber pest inspection should identify activity and/or damage caused by timber pests which may be termites, borers or decay/wood rot (fungi). That is why you actually need both a building inspection and a timber pest inspection so you know the exact condition of the property before entering into any financial transactions.

What is included in a timber pest inspection?

A pre-purchase timber pest inspection identifies whether any timber damaging pests are present in the buildings or anywhere in the grounds – within the boundary line or up to 30 metres away from the building.

Your timber pest inspection report will contain:

Any visible evidence of timber pest damage or activity in the buildings or on the property
The susceptibility of the buildings on the property to timber damage
The severity of any visible existing damage
Any remedial measures or protective measures that are appropriate
