FAQ

Building and Pest Inspections in Cobbitty: common questions

Is the pest inspection a separate report?

Yes. The building report follows AS 4349.1 and the timber pest report follows AS 4349.3. Both come from one visit.

What is a conducive condition?

Anything that makes termite activity more likely, such as moisture against the house, soil over weep holes or timber stored beside a wall. Removing them lowers the risk.

What does an expired termite notice mean?

The protection recorded in the meter box has passed its expected life, so it may no longer be working. A licensed pest controller can advise on renewing it.

Can you guarantee the house is free of termites?

No inspector can. The inspection is visual and reports what is evident on the day in accessible areas. Regular inspections afterwards are the sensible follow up.

What sits outside a Cobbitty building and pest inspection?

Treatment of any kind, invasive drilling or lifting floors, inaccessible areas, electrical, gas and plumbing testing, asbestos and mould testing. We inspect and report only.
