Spider Management

What we check
A thorough inspection — from the roof void to the subfloor.
We examine every accessible area of the property to Australian Standards, then report exactly what we find — defects, risks and the things you can't see from the street.
Roof & roof void
Leaks, sagging, broken tiles, flashing and ventilation in the roof cavity.
Subfloor & footings
Structural movement, damp, drainage and ventilation beneath the home.
Walls & ceilings
Cracking, water staining, render defects and signs of movement.
Moisture & damp
Meter readings for rising damp, salt damp and hidden water ingress.
Timber & structure
Rot, borer, structural defects and weakened load-bearing timbers.
Termites & timber pests
Live activity, damage, mud-leads and conditions conducive to termites.
Electrical & safety
Visible electrical hazards, smoke alarms and obvious safety risks.
Wet areas & plumbing
Bathrooms, kitchens and laundries for leaks, drainage and waterproofing.
Who we are
Local and family-owned — never a franchise.
For 11 years, A.S Building & Pest Services has protected Fleurieu Peninsula homes from the threats coastal living brings — termite pressure, salt and moisture damage, and hidden structural defects. Based in Encounter Bay, we're not a franchise with a 1300 number and a template checklist. We're a local family business that knows the unique conditions of coastal South Australia.

Questions
Common questions, answered plainly.
Everything Fleurieu homeowners ask before booking — no jargon, no pressure.
Do home inspectors do pest inspections?
In South Australia, building inspectors and pest inspectors require separate licences. A.S Building and Pest Services holds both, so we provide combined building and pest inspections in a single visit. This saves you time, money, and ensures comprehensive protection before you commit to a property purchase.
How much does a building and pest inspection cost in Victor Harbor?
Pricing depends on property size, age, and location. Contact us for a free quote — we provide transparent pricing upfront, no hidden fees. A combined building and pest inspection is typically more cost-effective than booking two separate inspections from different providers.
How long does a building and pest inspection take?
Most inspections take a few hours on-site, with the detailed report delivered within a couple of business days. You're welcome to attend the inspection and ask questions on-site.
What areas do you cover?
We serve the entire Fleurieu Peninsula, including Victor Harbor, Encounter Bay, Goolwa, Middleton, Port Elliot, Hayborough, Rosetta, and surrounding suburbs.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — we hold a Building Works Licence, Pest Control Licence, and Termite Licence, and carry full public liability insurance. All inspections are conducted to Australian Standards.
What pests are common in coastal Fleurieu Peninsula homes?
Coastal properties face high termite pressure, spider activity, and rodent infestations due to moisture, salt damage, and proximity to bushland and water.
Can I attend the inspection?
Yes — we encourage buyers to attend so we can walk you through any concerns on-site.
What happens if you find termites?
We provide a detailed report with photos, treatment recommendations, and cost estimates. We can also arrange termite control services if needed.
