FAQ

Building and Pest Inspections in Berwick: common questions

Will the pest inspection guarantee the house is termite free?

No inspection can promise that. AS 4349.3 is inspect and report: we record activity, damage and conducive conditions we can see on the day, and we do not treat.

What is excluded?

Everything AS 4349.1 leaves out, plus timber concealed inside walls, under fixed floor coverings or behind stored goods. We do not move furniture, lift carpet or drill. Treatment, asbestos and mould testing sit outside the scope.

Why does an expired termite notice matter?

It means the last chemical or barrier treatment has passed its expected life, so the house may have no working protection. The report flags it so you can arrange a pest manager.
