🏡 What’s underneath your home could be important.
Moisture, timber deterioration, termite activity, drainage problems and issues with stumps, supports or the structure can sometimes be hidden beneath a raised home.

🔍 These areas aren't always visible when you're viewing a property. Older homes with enclosed under-floor spaces can make it particularly difficult to see what's happening underneath.

We inspect accessible under-floor areas to help identify issues that may otherwise go unnoticed.

With 21 years of experience in Townsville, Total Pre-Purchase Building & Pest Inspections provides thorough inspections and the peace of mind that comes with knowing what you're buying.

🏡 It’s not just what’s inside that matters.
When you're viewing a property, it's easy to focus on the house and overlook the fencing, pathways and driveway.

🔍 But some issues aren't always obvious. A sunken pathway, uneven surface or damaged section of fencing can indicate movement, deterioration or other concerns that may need attention.

We inspect fencing, pathways, driveways and other external areas as part of our building inspection, helping identify issues that could otherwise be easily overlooked.

💧 What lies beneath may not be obvious.
Mould staining, deteriorating grout or moisture around a bathroom can be signs of a leak or waterproofing issue that isn't immediately visible.

🔍 Our building inspections look beyond what you can see, helping identify areas of concern that could lead to more significant damage if left unchecked.

🔎 Look beyond the obvious.
Termite damage isn't always easy to spot. A small section of damaged timber could be an indication of more extensive activity or damage elsewhere in the property.

A professional building and pest inspection can uncover issues that may not be visible during a normal property viewing, helping you understand the condition of the property before you commit.

🏡 Know the overall condition of your property.
Older Queenslander homes have plenty of character, but age can also bring maintenance issues and defects that aren't always obvious when you're viewing a property.

🔍 From the roof and subfloor to moisture, timber and pest activity, a professional building and pest inspection can give you a clearer picture of the property's condition.

💧 Water damage starts somewhere
That damaged timber around the door frame could be a sign of moisture intrusion, leaks or timber deterioration. We look closely at areas like this to identify defects that may otherwise go unnoticed.

🔍 We find the signs before you buy
A pre-purchase inspection can help uncover water damage and other costly defects before they become your problem.

🔦 We get into the roof cavity
Getting into the roof space allows us to inspect areas you can’t see from inside the home, including the underside of the roof, timber framing and signs of leaks or water damage.

🏠 What’s hiding above the ceiling?
Our thorough pre-purchase inspections help identify defects before you buy.

🔎 We look beyond what you can see
Some building defects aren’t visible during a standard walk-through. By using professional inspection techniques, we can identify potential issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.

🏠 Buying a property? Know what you’re really buying.
A thorough pre-purchase inspection can uncover hidden defects before they become your problem.

💧 Is there moisture behind the tiles?
A moisture meter can help detect elevated moisture levels around wet areas such as bathrooms — even when there are no obvious signs of a leak or water damage.

🏠 Know what’s happening behind the surface
Our pre-purchase inspections check for signs of moisture and other hidden defects before you buy.

When an Icon Falls 🚌🌳
Imagine driving past an icon of Railway Estate for years, and then one day — 18 August 2026, to be exact — you see it lying on the ground, being broken up and removed. 😔

I’m referring to the iconic bus stop in Railway Avenue, where a single hardwood post measuring over 600mm in diameter supported the entire roof structure.

That was until it was attacked by termites — Mastotermes, to be exact. 🐜

Known as the world’s most aggressive termite, Mastotermes is certainly a termite to be respected. One factor in our favour is their size. Being the largest termite on the planet, they are generally easier to detect by a qualified Pest Technician carrying out a regular inspection. 🔍👷‍♂️

The key is catching them before the damage becomes this significant. Regular professional termite inspections can help identify activity early and potentially prevent the loss of valuable timber structures.

Don’t wait until the damage is visible. Prevention starts with inspection.
