The inspection can pick up visible issues such as wall cracks, ceiling stains, roofing concerns, wet area defects, drainage problems, unsafe items, movement, maintenance issues and signs of previous repairs that may need closer review.

The report can help you understand both the building condition and any visible signs or conditions linked to termite or timber pest activity.
