Termite Activity

We will check and map all vulnerable areas of your property for signs that termites are in residence. This includes hard-to-reach spots and locations that attract particular types of termite (damp wood termites, for example, are attracted to areas where rotting or water-logged timber is available).


Evidence of Previous Termite Activity

Even if no termites are currently inhabiting your premises, a previous invasion may have caused structural damage, which you need to have repaired. In addition, unless you have taken defensive steps to protect your property against termites, the building is still vulnerable to a repeat pest invasion.


Borers

Borers are a species of beetle that lays their eggs in timber. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae feed on the timber. If left unchecked, they can cause a significant degree of structural damage. 


Borers aren't always easy to spot, particularly if an invasion is in its early stages. As part of our assessment process, we will check all the timber in your property for signs that borer beetles are in residence.


Timber Decay and Rot

Rotting timber in your property is never a good sign. Not only could it indicate that you've got a slow leak or that some part of the building isn't weatherproof, but rotting timber is also an attractive home to a range of unwanted pests. 


We will map out the location of compromised timber and provide details of the type of remedial action that's most likely to resolve the issue.

Anything That Will Encourage Termites

It's surprising how many apparently harmless, everyday items or locations can provide an invitation for termites to settle. A woodpile too close to the property can all act as a draw to unwanted termites. For example, some damp wood or a tree near the building's exterior could cause a termite infestation. 

Our team will detail these high-risk features and suggest ways to reduce the likelihood of a termite invasion. We will also suggest a range of preventative measures that can make it harder for termites to gain access.


Any Previous Termite Treatments

If we find any evidence that someone has treated your building for termites with a chemical or physical termite barrier in the past, we will note it down and include it in the report. This ensures you'll have the data needed to work out how best to protect your property from the dangers that termites can present.

Building & Pest Inspection FAQs

  • What should you expect from a building and pest inspection?

    During a building and pest inspection, one of our inspectors will visually inspect your home in order to characterise the property. Our inspector will actively look for any structural flaws or potential hazards that you should be aware of whilst also checking for the presence of termites. 


    Our inspectors may sometimes use high-quality software and equipment to fully measure the conditions of the property and ensure that our assessment is accurate. 


    Once the initial inspection has been completed by a professional home inspector, you will receive a detailed inspection report from us which will list our findings.

  • Why are building and pest inspections important?

    A building and pest inspection is extremely important for property maintenance as well as property valuing. 


    A professional inspection enables homeowners and property managers to have a solid understanding of the conditions of the property's structure and be able to identify areas that need improvement or replacement to maintain the safety of the property.


     An annual home inspection is recommended to ensure the security of your home and the stability of it is good condition. 


    We also strongly recommend pre-purchase inspections to ensure that your prospective property does not have dangerous hazards or unsafe structures.

  • How long will a building and pest inspection take?

    The time that it takes to complete a full building and pest inspection depend upon the size of your property. 


    The average length of a full building and pest inspection usually stands between the 90 minute and the 2-hour mark. 


    It is important that inspectors do not rush inspections to provide an accurate assessment of the conditions of the property and to have time to consider solutions to any issues that are identified.

  • What will the inspection report tell me?

    The inspection report will list, in detail, the findings from the inspection of your home. 


    It will highlight any areas that are not structurally sound, make you aware of any dangerous hazards that you may not be aware of and alert you to the potential presence of termites. 


    Within our comprehensive inspection reports, we will outline a full treatment plan for your home which will detail our recommended ways of resolving the issues of the property and inform you of our protection plan which will keep the property safe and secure from other potential structural issues and hazards.
