Visual Assessment
Phase One is a visual assessment of your property. Our building inspectors will test appliances, lights and other fittings. Making sure all your fixtures are up to par, we cover basic house integrity to give you an overall idea of the state of your property.
Laser Levelling & Thermal Imaging
Phase Two is laser levelling and thermal imaging. This process allows us to detect thermal anomalies and any sinking or uneven floors, ceilings or walls. Thermal imaging also lets us discover any visual evidence if termite activity is present. It can isolate heat sources generated by termites on building surfaces and helps trace their nest and entry points through the building.
Inspection of Roof Cavity & Subfloors
Phase Three is an inspection of the roof cavity and subfloor areas to assess for any damage, leaks or structural issues. Our building inspectors will thoroughly inspect the unique layout of your property.
Building Pest Inspections
Phase Four is finalising our comprehensive building pest inspections Melbourne report, giving you everything you need to know to make an informed decision on the purchase of your property. You’ll receive your report no later than 24 hours after the inspection.

Benefits of a Building and Pest Inspection in Melbourne
When you hire inspectors to investigate pests, Altez can help you avoid purchasing an affected property and prevent major stress and financial loss. Alternatively, we can help assist in negotiating an appropriate price to factor in any corrective actions required. If major defects or termite activity is found, your knowledge can help better navigate your purchase decision with the risks made known to you.
We not only identify the presence of termites and pests, if any, but highlight conditions that may lead to future pest activity. Unlike a basic building inspection, Altez’s complete building and pest inspection is vital for Australian buyers, giving you the information you need to prevent any losses from the devastating damage termites cause.

The Latest Pest Detection Technology
As professionals, we use the latest pest detection technology to quickly detect and map out termite paths and nests as well as identify other pests. Use of these tools is included as part of our pest and building inspections Melbourne service.
Termatrac T3i Radar Termite Detector
This radar termite detector uses low energy microwaves to penetrate and detect any activity in the walls, such as the movement of termites and other insects.
Moisture and Humidity Meter
Using a sensitive moisture meter, we can record changes in moisture levels to identify problems and potential spaces where termites might build nests. This meter can read concentrated presence of moistures on various surfaces from walls and floors without ever needing to puncture holes or damage the property in any way.
FLIR E5 Infrared Camera Thermal Imaging
Termites generate heat when they’re active, allowing us to identify the areas where they’re most active using advanced thermal imaging tools. This is a very efficient non-invasive method of detecting termites in building inspections.
Comprehensive Pre-Purchase Pest Inspection Report
After every building inspection, we create a comprehensive report detailing everything we find, potential risks and hazards, and our recommendations on what steps you should take next. While many minor pest infestations can be easily remedied, larger infestations can be incredibly costly. Without a detailed report, you won’t be able to identify these issues.
If you’re planning on buying a home and discover it has termites or similar pests, it’s important to weigh up the pros and cons before purchasing. Our building inspection report will help you do that.
