FAQ

Building and Pest Inspections in Morayfield: common questions

Is the meter box functioning correctly?

Termite protection is usually fixed to the building. It notes the specific plumbing work and the date of installation, otherwise the next inspector must estimate the details.

Could you certify a Morayfield house as termite free?

No inspector can. We note visible defects and access limitations, explain the safety risks involved, and suggest the practical steps you should take next.

What lies outside a Morayfield building and pest inspection?

We do not move furniture or tear up floor coverings, and we do not carry out any termite treatment. We do not test the electrical, gas or plumbing systems.
