What an inspection covers and what it cannot

Most termite inspections are booked for one of two reasons: a property is changing hands, or someone found something they could not identify. Either way the value is in the report, and a report is only as good as its honesty about what could not be reached. No inspection sees inside a sealed wall. A good one tells you exactly which areas were not accessible so you can decide whether that matters.

Termite inspection checklist: where we look and what we look for
