Structural Integrity Assessments

A solid foundation is key to any property’s longevity. Our building inspections in Toowoomba include comprehensive structural integrity assessments, focusing on the strength and stability of the property’s core elements. From foundations and walls to roofing and framework, we assess each structural component to detect any signs of weakness or damage. Identifying these issues early on can save on costly repairs and ensure that your property remains safe and durable.

Identification of Timber Decay & Rot

Timber decay and rot are common issues in buildings, particularly in areas with high moisture levels. As part of our building inspections in Toowoomba, we thoroughly examine timber structures for signs of decay or rot. These conditions can weaken the framework of a property and attract pests, like termites, that thrive in damp, deteriorated wood. Early identification allows for timely repairs or treatments to prevent further damage, keeping your property safe and well-maintained.

Termite Activity

We will check and map all vulnerable areas of your property for signs that termites are in residence. This includes hard-to-reach spots and locations that attract particular types of termite (damp wood termites, for example, are attracted to areas where rotting or water-logged timber is available).


Evidence of Previous Termite Activity

Even if no termites are currently inhabiting your premises, a previous invasion may have caused structural damage, which you need to have repaired. In addition, unless you have taken defensive steps to protect your property against termites, the building is still vulnerable to a repeat pest invasion.


Borers

Borers are a species of beetle that lays their eggs in timber. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae feed on the timber. If left unchecked, they can cause a significant degree of structural damage. 


Borers aren't always easy to spot, particularly if an invasion is in its early stages. As part of our assessment process, we will check all the timber in your property for signs that borer beetles are in residence.


Timber Decay and Rot

Rotting timber in your property is never a good sign. Not only could it indicate that you've got a slow leak or that some part of the building isn't weatherproof, but rotting timber is also an attractive home to a range of unwanted pests. 


We will map out the location of compromised timber and provide details of the type of remedial action that's most likely to resolve the issue.

Anything That Will Encourage Termites

It's surprising how many apparently harmless, everyday items or locations can provide an invitation for termites to settle. A woodpile too close to the property can all act as a draw to unwanted termites. For example, some damp wood or a tree near the building's exterior could cause a termite infestation. 

Our team will detail these high-risk features and suggest ways to reduce the likelihood of a termite invasion. We will also suggest a range of preventative measures that can make it harder for termites to gain access.


Any Previous Termite Treatments

If we find any evidence that someone has treated your building for termites with a chemical or physical termite barrier in the past, we will note it down and include it in the report. This ensures you'll have the data needed to work out how best to protect your property from the dangers that termites can present.

Buying A New Home? Why You Should Book a Pest Inspection Before Signing a Contract

  • Prevent Costly Surprises: A pest inspection can reveal hidden issues like pest damage or other pest infestations that could be expensive. Knowing these in advance lets you negotiate repairs or a better purchase price.

     An annual home inspection is recommended to ensure the security of your home and the stability of it is good condition.

    It will highlight any areas that are not structurally sound, make you aware of any dangerous hazards that you may not be aware of and alert you to the potential presence of termites. 


    Within our comprehensive inspection reports, we will outline a full treatment plan for your home which will detail our recommended ways of resolving the issues of the property and inform you of our protection plan which will keep the property safe and secure from other potential structural issues and hazards.

  • What ongoing maintenance can I perform to minimise building and pest risks in Toowoomba?

  • How can I prepare my property for an inspection?

    To facilitate a smooth inspection process, ensure that all areas of the property are accessible, including the roof void, subfloor, and exterior spaces. Remove any obstructions that might hinder the inspector’s access to these areas. Prepare your property effectively for a thorough building and pest inspection in Toowoomba.

    While annual inspections are recommended, you should consider a building and pest inspection if you notice warning signs such as unexplained wall cracks, timber decay, unusual moisture spots, termite mud tracks, or purchasing a new property. These indicators can help you catch potential issues early and save significant repair costs in the long run.
