Premium Package Building & Pest Inspection in Abbotsford

We visually assess key structural elements for signs of significant movement, cracking patterns and structural distress. In Abbotsford, where older footings and altered layouts are common, this helps you distinguish cosmetic cracking from defects that can affect liveability and resale.

We identify major building defects such as water ingress indicators, failing finishes, compromised building elements and poor-quality alterations. Abbotsford buyers often face properties that have been renovated or converted—this check helps uncover shortcuts that don’t show up at inspections or open homes.

We look for visible safety hazards that can create immediate risk, including trip hazards, unsafe balustrade indicators and moisture-related slip risks. In Abbotsford’s mix of older staircases, rear access paths and multi-level conversions, these issues can be easy to miss but costly to rectify.

We inspect accessible areas for evidence of termites and timber pests, and conditions conducive to activity such as damp subfloors, leaking wet areas and stored timber. Even inner-city Abbotsford can have termite risk where there’s garden beds against walls, older timber elements or moisture trapped around extensions.

We visually identify materials that commonly contain asbestos so you can plan safely before any renovation, removal or sanding work. Abbotsford’s pre-1990 stock and patchwork upgrades can leave asbestos in eaves, wet area linings or external cladding—often hidden behind newer finishes.

We check for visible mould and moisture indicators, focusing on wet areas, laundries, ceilings, corners and behind furniture placement where air flow is poor. Abbotsford’s humidity and older building envelopes can drive mould, and spotting it early helps prevent ongoing health and repair issues.

We visually inspect accessible electrical components for indicators of wear, DIY modifications and general condition concerns. In Abbotsford, older homes and conversions can have mixed-era wiring and added circuits—this helps you understand what may need licensed electrician attention.

We measure floor levels using digital equipment to identify unevenness and patterns that can indicate settlement or movement. This is particularly useful in Abbotsford where older floors, extensions and variable subfloor conditions can create slopes that aren’t obvious in a quick walkthrough.

We visually confirm the presence and placement of smoke alarms, noting obvious gaps so you can address them promptly. Many Abbotsford properties have been reconfigured over time, and alarm coverage doesn’t always keep up with added bedrooms or altered hallways.

We perform electrical polarity testing to help detect dangerous wiring conditions at tested points. For Abbotsford buyers, this provides an extra layer of safety screening, especially in properties with older fittings or where the electrical history is unclear.

We report on minor defects that can snowball—like deteriorated sealant, minor leaks, sticking doors and early-stage deterioration. In Abbotsford, small moisture entry points and maintenance backlog are common, and catching them early can prevent larger repairs later.
