Less often than leafy eastern suburbs, but timber fences, pergolas and garden beds against slab edges create the conditions. New homes also have termite management systems that need checking.
We inspect and report; we do not treat termites, which is a licensed pest manager's work. The inspection does not determine concealed damage without invasive investigation, and does not cover electrical, gas, plumbing or appliance testing, concealed framing and cavities, areas obstructed by stored goods or vegetation, or asbestos and mould testing. No inspection can guarantee a property is pest free, because it covers the accessible areas on the day.
Yes. One inspector, one visit, one combined report.
Many lenders and conveyancers ask for a combined building and pest report on established homes. Check your loan conditions.
The combined inspection costs a little more than building only. Use the quote form for an instant price.
We inspect and report to AS 4349.3. We do not treat. If activity is found, you engage a licensed pest control company for treatment.
Where conditions suit, thermal imaging and moisture readings help locate concealed activity, but they are aids, not proof.
Timber in contact with soil, garden beds and mulch against the slab edge, leaking taps and downpipes, poor subfloor ventilation and stored timber. These attract termites even where colonies are not yet present.
