PRE-SALE BUILDING AND PEST INSPECTION MOOROOKA 4105
Our building and pest inspectors sure get into some tight spaces. You know, the places where it’s dark and there are creepy crawlies! These are the lengths that our inspectors go to ensuring you receive a thorough building and pest inspection.
Our building inspector will be looking at bearers and joists during an inspection to ensure their structural integrity is intact.
With torch in hand and crawling through the subfloor of a house in Moorooka, our inspector saw evidence of termites. The little critters had eaten an important piece of structure to the house - a bearer.
What’s a bearer I hear you ask? A bearer is a timber or steel support designed to carry a load. It is part of the building framework of a house. A bearer is foundational to the structural integrity of a house.
Seeing a bearer having its integrity/strength diminished by termites is a concern. In one photo, you can see where a joist sitting on the bearer has caused the bearer to crack. That means the bearer is probably hollow inside.
This can be remedied by a builder replacing the bearer and any other affected timber.
