FAQ

Building and Pest Inspections in Catherine Field: common questions

What is the durable notice?

A permanent notice, usually inside the meter box, naming the termite system installed, who installed it, and what maintenance it requires. AS 3660 requires it and nothing else records it.

Why do downpipes appear in a pest report?

Because a downpipe that is not connected puts a large volume of water beside the building every time it rains, and persistent moisture at the wall is the single most common conducive condition there is.

Will you certify the property as termite free?

No inspector honestly can. Their work happens inside timber, out of sight, so what the report can honestly give you is the evidence visible on the day and the conditions encouraging them.
