Regular termite inspections

A thorough inspection is carried out to the exterior and yard area looking for any signs of activity. We check for visible mud trails, nests and damage to exterior timbers, we also report on anything that may be conducive to termite attack.

We then proceed to the interior of the house and check the walls using a tapping device and moisture meter. If something is detected then we test the spot with the movement detector.

The tapping device is used to detect any eaten out timber below the surface. This involves tapping the skirting boards, architraves and window sills.

The moisture meter can detect any moisture that may exist within the wall, if moisture is present this can be an indication that there is a leaking water pipe, faulty waterproofing in a wet area or worse, an active termite nest within the wall.

The movement detector is as the name suggests a device used for detecting movement, it’s extremely sensitive and will detect the movement of termites.

We also inspect the roof void and sub floor (if present) for any termite activity.

Regular termite inspections are carried out in accordance with Australian Standards 3660.2-2017. Upon completion we provide you with an 8 page report including any recommendations. We can also provide you with a quote to install a chemical barrier and baiting system if required to protect your building from termite attack.

(please note if termites are detected and a more in depth inspection with the use of digital detection equipment for a special purpose inspection is required then the cost of carrying out such an inspection is not covered in the price quoted for a regular termite inspection)
