Buying a new home is exciting and it’s easy to get caught up but all that excitement can quickly sour unless you take the proper measures to find out whether the house your looking to buy has hidden termite issues that will turn your dream home into a nightmare. If you are looking to buy a new home the money you spend on a Pre-Purchase Pest Inspection will be well worth it.
We allow 2 two hours for our qualified timber pest technicians to complete a thorough termite inspection of the entire property including roof voids, sub-floors, surrounding gardens, sheds and other structures on the property. We back up all of our inspections with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter at no extra cost. As moisture is a significant risk factor for a subterranean termite attack our technicians check for leaks around the property and our moisture meter shows where moisture levels are high. Some companies will charge extra to use a thermal imaging camera but at Results we believe it’s a necessary tool to find termite activity and leaks unseen behind walls so we don’t charge you any extra.
Once the inspection is complete, we forward a 21 page report with a map of the property with all our technician’s finding mapped out for you. The report then goes on to list any recommendations our technician has made to help DIY ‘termite proof’ the home. Things like cutting back gardens, ensuring weep holes aren’t covered or fixing leaking taps or broken down pipes. Our pest/termite inspections are comprehensive to say the least, plus you have the team at Results Home Services available to answer any questions you might have regarding the report or our technician’s findings.
Included in the detailed report is a treatment proposal with preventative termite treatment options available to you so you have a complete picture on where the property is at and how much it would cost to protect it from a termite attack. Results Home Services has been protecting Brisbane homes for over 25 years so we have the knowledge and experience to offer the best advice to protect your brand new home.
Having a qualified timber pest technician perform a specialized inspection for termites will ensure we find any termite activity past or present. We allocate two hours to go through your potential new home and do a comprehensive inspection. Some combined building and pest inspections leave something to be desired. We have had cases where combined building and pest inspections have failed to recognize potential termite problems and left the new owners with the task of treating the active termites and repairing the affected areas.
Looking for a new home is an emotional roller coaster, between looking at house after house and finally finding one that suits you and your family that’s within your budget it would be terrible to have to deal with the stress of an undocumented termite infestation.
We realize that timing is everything so when you book your Pre-Purchase Pest Inspection with us we work within your time frame and email you a copy of the Pre-Purchase Inspection Report as well as posting a hard copy for your records.
