FAQ

Building and Pest Inspections in Point Cook: common questions

Can a pest inspection promise a house is clear?

No inspection can. AS 4349.3 is an inspect and report standard, covering evidence visible on the day and the conditions that raise the risk.

Why does grading matter to termites?

Ground falling towards the house holds water at the perimeter. Termites need moisture, and permanently damp soil against a slab supplies it year round.

What falls outside this inspection?

Walls are not opened, stored goods are left in place, unsafe spaces are not entered, and electrical, gas and plumbing are not tested. Treatment and its warranty come from a licensed pest controller.
