What Happens During an Inspection

Many homeowners hesitate to book an inspection simply because they do not know what it involves. Here is the process, start to finish.

Step 1: Walkthrough and visible signs check

A technician walks through the property checking for visible signs — mud tubes along walls and foundations, hollow-sounding wood, damaged skirting, discarded wings near windows, and any areas you have flagged as concerning.

Step 2: Checking vulnerable areas

Certain zones get extra attention regardless of visible signs: bathroom and kitchen wet areas, basements, areas near plumbing penetrations, wooden door and window frames, and the plinth line around the entire building perimeter.

Step 3: Measuring the area and assessing severity

If activity is found, the technician measures the affected and at-risk area to determine the correct treatment method and quantity of material needed — this is what the quote is actually based on, not a flat per-visit charge.

Step 4: Written quote and next steps

You receive a written quote outlining the recommended treatment, cost, and warranty terms — with no obligation to proceed immediately. Book a free inspection today; it typically takes under an hour for a standard residential property.
