Graceville and Chelmer are leafy riverside suburbs full of Queenslanders and large family homes, and parts of both were flooded in 1974, 2011 and 2022. Our inspections here focus on flood repairs and damp, raised home structures, subfloor timbers, roof condition and termite risk.
Combined building and pest inspections in Graceville and Chelmer are $495 for a unit and $610 for a 3 to 4 bedroom house, including GST and travel. Reports arrive within 24 hours, and usually the same day.
Homes in Graceville and Chelmer
Big timber Queenslanders on wide blocks are the signature here, many raised high after past floods, with modern rebuilds and extensions mixed in. Raised homes often have large enclosed spaces underneath, which need careful checking for damp, ventilation and how they were built.
Termites and timber pests in Graceville and Chelmer
Mature trees, leafy gardens, timber homes and damp ground after floods all raise termite and decay risk. Check whether the home has had termite treatment and when.
