FAQ

Building and Pest Inspections in Sunbury: common questions

Are termites a concern in Sunbury?

Any home with timber and moisture nearby can be at risk. On older blocks we look for garden beds over the slab edge, stored timber and leaking taps, because those are what draw termites in.

If you find termites, do you treat them?

No. We inspect and report only. If there is activity, the report says where, and you can get treatment quotes from a licensed pest manager.

Can you guarantee a house is termite free?

No one can. The inspection covers what is readily accessible on the day. Concealed timber and obstructed areas are listed as limitations.

What is not included in a Sunbury building and pest inspection?

The building part excludes electrical, gas and plumbing testing, appliances, pools, concealed structure and asbestos or mould testing. The pest part excludes areas behind linings, under floor coverings or blocked by stored goods, and any treatment.
