Pre Purchase Pest Inspections in Ormond

It is not widely known that common timber pests, such as termites, need just 2mm to gain access to a property and start causing damage. Many people are also unaware that home insurance is unlikely to cover the cost of repairs if termites are discovered after purchase. All pest inspections are conducted in accordance with Australian Standard 4349.3-2-2010

That is why we specialise in pre purchase pest inspections in the Melbourne suburb of Ormond. When All Checked Out conducts pre purchase pest inspections, our reports cover all types of pests, including termites, borers, and fungal decay.
