Building and pest inspections in Carindale
Carindale is largely brick and tile homes on slab from the 1980s onward, many on large blocks with pools. The inspection focus here is less about old timber and more about roofs, cracking, wet areas and termite barriers on slab homes.

Local things to know
Brick veneer homes on slab are often thought to be safe from termites. They are not. Termites can enter through slab joints and behind cladding, so a timber pest inspection still matters. Low lying land near Bulimba Creek can flood; check the Brisbane City Council Flood Awareness Map.
