About timber pest inspection
A timber pest inspection looks for termites, borers, fungal decay and conditions that attract them, which a standard building inspection does not fully cover. Termite damage is common in Australia and expensive to repair. This is usually done alongside a building inspection as a combined report.
Getting quotes in Freshwater
A good inspector will quote timber pest inspection clearly: labour, materials and callout itemised, licence details offered without prompting, and a realistic timeframe for Freshwater. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for timber pest inspection is flexible, include that in the Freshwater request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
Quick answers
How long does a building and pest inspection take?+
The on-site inspection of an average home usually takes one to two hours, and most inspectors deliver the written report the same day or within 24 hours. Ask about turnaround before booking if you are working to a tight contract deadline.
What does a building inspection cover?+
A pre-purchase building inspection is a visual check of accessible areas covering structural elements, roof, walls, floors, wet areas, and safety hazards, reported against the relevant standard. It does not open up walls or cover items behind finishes. The report notes major defects and areas needing further advice.
Is a pest inspection separate from a building inspection?+
Yes. A timber pest inspection specifically targets termites, borers and timber decay, which a building inspection does not fully cover. Most buyers order a combined building and pest report, which covers both in one visit and is cheaper than booking them separately.
