What a timber pest inspection covers in Donnybrook
AS 4349.3 without the sales language.
In short: What it does, what it cannot do, and why no report certifies a house pest free.
Inspect and report
AS 4349.3 covers evidence visible on the day and the conditions raising risk.
Covered
The dwelling and accessible timber structures, roof space and subfloor where entry is safe.
Not covered
Opening walls, moving stored goods, unsafe spaces, treatment, or any guarantee.
Why no guarantee exists
Termites work concealed. Any report claiming certainty is overreaching.
