What the inspection covers
Termites work out of sight, so the inspection goes wherever they are likely to be.
Interior
Skirting boards, door and window frames, architraves, built-ins and other accessible timber.
Roof void
Roof timbers and framing where they can be safely accessed.
Subfloor
Bearers, joists, stumps and piers on raised homes where there is access.
Perimeter and exterior
Slab edges, weep holes, external walls, decks, pergolas and stairs.
Garden and yard
Fences, sleepers, stumps, trees, timber landscaping and outbuildings.
What Chris looks for
Live termites
Active termites in timber, the garden or around the building.
Mud leads and tubes
Earth tunnels termites build to travel between the soil and timber.
Damage
Timber that is hollow, soft, or has been eaten out from the inside.
Conditions that attract termites
Moisture from leaks or poor drainage, timber touching the soil, garden beds built up against walls and covered slab edges.
How often should you have one?
Many properties benefit from a termite inspection at least once a year, and more often where the risk is higher. That includes homes with a history of termite activity, timber homes on stumps, and properties surrounded by bushland or established gardens.
Chris can advise what makes sense for your property once he has seen it.
Buying, selling or managing a property?
If you are about to buy a property, manage a rental or simply want a current picture of a home you own, an inspection gives you clear information before you make decisions.
Call Chris to talk through what you need. He will explain what the inspection includes and what you will receive afterwards before you book.
Found termites? Leave them alone.
Spraying, breaking open or removing damaged timber can disturb termites and make them harder to treat. Leave the area as it is and book an inspection.
