Hidden Timber Pest Damage That’s Often Missed
We’ve encountered countless cases where buyers move in and suddenly discover serious timber pest damage that was overlooked in a one-person inspection.
Some of the most common issues include:
- Hollow skirting boards or door frames – Termites have eaten the inside, leaving only a thin outer layer.
- Signs of mudding in door frames, skirting boards, subfloors, or roof voids – A telltale sign of previous or active termite activity that may go unnoticed.
- Vacuum going straight through a skirting board – Exposing weakened timber eaten by termites.
- TV wall mount installation gone wrong – Homeowners can’t secure screws into timber studs because they’ve been hollowed out by termites, revealing hidden pest damage.
Secure yourself and your investment against such possibilities with a pre-purchase inspection.
A pre-purchase pest and building inspection is designed to assess the structural integrity and overall condition of the property.
The inspection will cover:
- Structural assessment – Checking foundations, walls, roof, and framework for defects.
- External & internal condition – Identifying cracks, moisture issues, and structural wear.
- Roof & guttering – Inspecting for leaks, broken tiles, and gutter damage.
- Subfloor & foundation stability – Checking for movement, moisture, and deterioration.
- Safety hazards – Identifying electrical, plumbing, or compliance issues.
- Detailed report with photos & recommendations – helping you make an informed decision before purchasing.
⏳ A building inspection takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, similar to a timber pest inspection. We streamline the entire pre-purchase pest inspection process and deliver detailed reports.
At OzPest Solutions, we only work with trusted and professional building inspectors who have extensive expertise in assessing structural integrity, safety concerns, and compliance issues. Doug, our highly skilled and qualified building inspector, is known to provide detailed and professional reports, helping you make informed decisions.
For properties that require an inspection from a licensed builder, we have licensed builder partners available upon request. No need to find a separate company – we handle everything for you!
Why Choose Two Inspectors Over One?
Many real estate agents prefer a single-inspector approach, as it’s faster and easier to pass a sale through. However, this often results in:
- ⚠ Missed termite or timber borer damage – Generalist inspectors lack in-depth pest knowledge.
- ⚠ Blended, vague reports – Less detail and lower accuracy in detecting real issues.
- ⚠ High buyer risk – Termites, structural faults, and safety hazards can be missed, leading to tens of thousands in repair costs.
The OzPest Solutions Difference
- ✅ Two sets of professional eyes – A timber pest specialist + a building inspector or licensed builder.
- ✅ Two separate, in-depth reports – Not a blended summary.
- ✅ Higher accuracy & buyer protection – Avoid costly surprises post-purchase.
With our comprehensive timber pest inspection, be 100% sure that your purchase is free of troublesome pests.
Side-by-Side Comparison: Two Inspectors vs. One
| Feature | Single Inspector (Blended Report) | Two Specialist Inspectors (OzPest Solutions) |

| Report Depth | Blended, often vague | Separate, detailed reports |
| Risk of Missed Issues | High – termites & borers overlooked | Low – specialised experts reduce risk |
