Equipment used during the inspection

Each of our teams carries:

  • Thermal Imaging Camera – for detecting water damage and termites
  • High Resolution Digital Camera – for taking images for the digital report
  • Termatrac T3i – worlds most advanced termite detection tool
  • Digital Moisture Meter – for detecting areas of high moisture
  • High Powered Worksite Light – for lighting dark environments such as roof spaces and subfloors
  • Acoustic Sound Probe – for identifying dull or hollow-sounding building elements
  • Digital Borescope – for visual inspection into wall cavities and voids

Two inspectors working together

Each Sound Building and Pest Inspection Gold Coast team is made up of:

  • A Master Builder who is certified for Pre Purchase Building Inspections (Building Inspection) and,
  • A Pest Inspector who is certified for Pre Purchase Timber Pest Inspections (Pest Inspection)

It’s the classic saying that two heads are better than one, and with Building and Pest Inspections it can be a great asset.

Both Building and Pest Inspectors complete their 200-point checklist and alert each other to possible problem areas. This helps to ensure that nothing is missed.

At the end of the Building and Pest Inspection, each inspector will verbally go through the areas of concern and answer any questions you may have.

Your Building and Pest Inspection Reports contain photos

After the inspection, you will receive your digital reports within four hours.

This can be particularly useful if you find a property at the last minute which is going to auction that weekend (more common than you think!).

You will receive a Building Inspection Report and a Timber Pest Inspection Report. Areas of concern are explained and photos are included.

You also receive access to each inspector’s mobile number, so if you need further clarification after the inspection, you can simply call them.

What if active termites are found?

Termite activity may be past, present or associated with conditions conducive to termite activity.

If active termites are found, we can treat the current infestation and discuss options to further protect the property with a Termite Management System.

If there are currently termites in the property, or there has been previous termite activity, don’t fret — it’s not always a walk-away.
