The top 4 reasons why you should get a building inspection when you buy a new home: 🏡 SAVE MONEY Buying your home is the biggest purchase of your life. Know exactly what you’re buying and don’t be caught off-guard by hidden costs from issues that you didn’t see during the open inspections you attended. 🏡 IDENTIFY STRUCTURAL ISSUES Some of the most common defects found in a building inspection are structural issues. These can involve major works to resolve and are often not seen by the untrained eye in an open inspection. 🏡 ENSURE SAFETY Many defects found during a building inspection affect the safety of your new home. Make sure you’re buying a property that is safe and secure, before the cooling off period ends. 🏡 PEACE OF MIND By choosing to have a building inspection on your potential new home, you will have peace of mind on moving day, knowing that what you’ve spent ‘big cash’ on has no major defects.

Evan is a dynamo in the kitchen 🔥 often cooking up a storm for his lunches and keeps us in fits of laughter with his impromptu movie quotes! A passionate family man to two beautiful boys, Evan’s love for cake, hockey, his family, Ferrari’s and did we mention cake 😆, makes him a firm favourite with our clients and staff.

📣 how to prevent termites from invading your home: • reduce moisture sources, such as leaking pipes, faucets, air conditioners and poor drainage. • seal entry points, such as cracks/gaps/holes in the foundation, walls and wood. • use termite barriers and treated wood. • store firewood at least 20 feet away from the house. • keep shrubs and garden beds well clear of building edges Follow us @buildinginspectorsadelaide for more useful tips. buildinginspectorsadelaide.com.au 1300 599 624 #termitecontrol #termiteinspection #buildinginspection #buildinginspectorsadelaide

One of the most destructive 😱 pests in Australia are TERMITES. They’re able to chew through solid wood anywhere in and around your home. They’re nasty little things. And they cause serious (and pricey 💸) damage. Here are 5 WARNING SIGNS that they’ve possibly invaded your home: 🚨 There are mud ‘tubes’ around the exterior of your home (miniature tubes made of dirt or termite droppings) 🚨 There is noticeable floor or ceiling damage (including blisters, cracks or sags on structural items of your home), or when you knock on timber around your house, it sounds hollow 🚨 The power at your home repeatedly short circuits 🚨 There are swarms of flying insects outdoors 🚨 The paint or plaster is cracking on your walls If you are concerned, don’t wait. Book a termite inspection TODAY with Building Inspectors Adelaide. ☎️ 1300 599 624 buildinginspectorsadelaide.com.au #buildinginspectorsadelaide #southaustralia #termites #pestinspection #buildinginspector
