Timber Pest
Inspections

Moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and Termatrac T3i.

No, our methods are non-invasive and non-destructive.

Typically 1-2 hours, depending on property size and structural complexity.

Within 24 hours of the inspection.

Yes, all inspectors are fully licensed, insured, and regularly trained.

We inspect for termites, borers, and wood-rotting fungi that can cause structural damage to your property.

Yes, a timber pest inspection before purchase enables informed decisions and can save thousands in future repairs and pest control costs. It may also allow for price renegotiation.

We inspect timber cladding, trim and fascia, decks, patios and porches, exterior doors and windows, interior walls and ceilings, subfloor and roof spaces, floor joists, subfloors and foundations.

Costs vary depending on property size and location. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific requirements.

Common signs include mud tubes on walls or foundations, hollow-sounding timber when tapped, bubbling or cracked paint, sagging floors or doors that stick, piles of frass (termite droppings), discarded wings near windows, and visible damage to timber structures. However, many infestations have no visible signs, which is why professional inspection is essential.

The Termatrac T3i uses radar technology to detect termite movement through walls, floors, and ceilings without causing any damage to the property. It also includes thermal and moisture sensors that help identify conditions conducive to termite activity, providing a comprehensive detection approach.

Yes. While termites do not eat brick or concrete, they can enter through cracks as small as 1mm and attack internal timber elements such as roof trusses, wall frames, door frames, skirting boards, and any other timber components within the building.

Australian Standards recommend annual timber pest inspections for all properties. Properties in high-risk areas, those with a history of termite activity, or those with conditions conducive to pests such as poor drainage or timber-to-ground contact should be inspected more frequently.

A timber pest inspection is a professional assessment that identifies the presence, type, and extent of timber pest activity and damage. Pest control treatment involves applying chemicals or barriers to eliminate pests. We provide inspection and reporting services but do not perform pest control treatments, ensuring our assessment remains independent and unbiased.

Yes, combining a timber pest inspection with a building inspection is the most popular option and provides the best value. Our combined building and pest inspection covers structural defects, safety hazards, and timber pest activity in a single visit, saving you time and money.

If active termites are found, our report documents the location, extent, and species if identifiable. We recommend engaging a licensed pest control company for treatment. It is important not to disturb the termites before treatment, as this can cause them to relocate and make eradication more difficult.

Yes, our inspection identifies conditions that may attract termites and other timber pests. These include poor drainage, timber stored against the building, garden beds against walls, leaking plumbing, inadequate ventilation in subfloor areas, and any direct timber-to-ground contact.

Most of Australia is at some level of risk for termite activity. Northern and coastal areas with warmer climates have higher risk, but termites are found in every state. The CSIRO estimates that one in three Australian homes will be affected by termites at some point, making regular inspections essential nationwide.

Yes, if termite activity or damage is found, the inspection report provides documented evidence that can be used to negotiate a reduction in the purchase price or request that the seller arrange treatment and repairs before settlement. Many buyers save thousands using our findings in negotiations.
