Why should you organize pests and building inspections?

“A true story from my job”

One of our clients contacted me to get details about pest and building inspection services for the property he was considering buying. He explained that the house had recently been renovated, painted and looked brand new. During his conversation, there's a lot of excitement, and he wanted to fix everything as soon as possible so that he wouldn't lose the house.

I took samples of the ceiling height to determine the sagging situation and found that it varied by up to 100 millimeters. On the roof, I discovered a couple of tiles were broken and the north corner gutter was missing, resulting in water leakage into the ceiling. In order to fix the water leakage issue and replace the sagging ceiling, an urgent arrangement was necessary. Furthermore, I discovered another worst-case scenario once I entered the subfloor for inspection: many of the concrete and brick piers had been replaced with untreated timber that was highly susceptible to many of the concrete and brick piers were replaced with untreated timber pieces were at high risk of termite attack.
