why get a building and pest inspection?

A Building and Pest Inspection (BPI) is a vital step in the property buying process. It offers comprehensive insights into the condition of a property, helping you make an informed decision before committing to a purchase. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from a BPI:

  1. Detailed Property Condition Assessment: The report will cover the building structure, including external and internal walls, ceilings, sub-floor and roof spaces, floors, patios, pergolas, retaining walls, sheds, and the yard area. Areas of high concern, such as kitchens and bathrooms, will be checked for moisture readings or leaks.

  2. Timber Pest Detection: This inspection includes identifying timber pests such as termites, wood rot, wood borers, and chemical delignification. The inspector will look for live termites, termite damage, and any conditions conducive to pest infestations.

  3. Thorough Inspection Process: Inspectors will use non-invasive techniques and tools to detect hidden issues, including moisture or water leaks, concealed defects, and structural concerns. All visible and accessible areas of the property will be carefully inspected to ensure no detail is overlooked.

  4. Photo-Enhanced Reports: The final report is detailed, providing clear documentation of any identified defects, along with photos and annexures explaining the findings. This allows you to understand the severity of issues and any necessary repairs or maintenance.

  5. Peace of Mind: Having a BPI report will give you a clear understanding of the property’s condition, highlighting any existing or potential issues. You can use the report to address immediate concerns or negotiate repairs with the seller, helping you make a confident purchase.

  6. Pre-Auction or Contract Condition Inspections: You can conduct these inspections before an auction or as a condition of the sale contract. A Building and Pest Inspection ensures you are fully aware of the property’s state, allowing for an informed decision.

In summary, a BPI report is the most comprehensive inspection for prospective buyers, offering peace of mind, identifying potential risks, and helping you budget for future maintenance or repairs. It’s an essential service to ensure you’re making a sound investment.

Trusted reporting that comes from quality equipment and years of industry experience

At Informed Building Inspections, we conduct thorough Building and Pest Inspections using the most accurate and non-invasive equipment available. This ensures you can purchase your property with complete confidence, knowing we’ve identified potential risks that may otherwise go unnoticed.

One key piece of equipment we use is the Termatrac T3i All Sensor. This cutting-edge tool employs radar, moisture, and thermal detection, combining three technologies into one device. The patented radar technology, along with relative and direct moisture sensors and a thermal sensor, helps us precisely locate, confirm, and track the presence of termites and other pest activity. We use the T3i All Sensor throughout the property to inspect accessible areas such as walls, floors, and ceilings for timber pests, leaks, or excessive moisture.

Our Tramex Moisture Meter provides instant, accurate moisture readings for various surfaces, including cabinetry, drywall, plaster, and masonry. This non-invasive tool helps us pinpoint areas that may require further investigation. Should we detect elevated moisture levels, your inspection report will include the exact location(s) where this was observed, along with recommendations for necessary trades.

Additionally, our Thermal Imaging Camera is invaluable in identifying the source and extent of water leaks. This powerful device transforms thermal imaging data into visual images, allowing us to detect hidden moisture problems and understand potential water ingress.

Together, these tools provide a deeper understanding of what’s happening in a property beyond what’s visible to the naked eye. Our inspectors are highly trained and experienced in using these technologies to deliver a comprehensive, accurate assessment of your property. If you have specific areas of concern, please don’t hesitate to contact us to arrange an inspection.
