What is included

What is included in a Marsden Park building and pest inspection

The building component follows AS 4349.1 and the timber pest component AS 4349.3. What the timber pest component produces is a record of evidence and conducive conditions on the day of attendance. It treats nothing and guarantees nothing about the absence of pests.

FAQ

Building and Pest Inspections in Marsden Park: common questions

Does a new house need a pest inspection?

Less urgently than an older one, but the risk arrives with the landscaping rather than with the build. Offcuts get buried and beds go in above the brick base, and that is how a path forms.

Do you carry out treatment?

No. Treatment, and the warranty that comes with it, is the licensed controller's to give. Separating those roles is what preserves the report's independence.

What is brick overhang doing on a pest page?

Because masonry sitting proud of its bearing is both a building item and a place where the inspection zone stops being readable. It appears on both sides of the report for that reason.
