Timber Pest Inspections

Why Is A Timber Pest Inspection Important?

A pre-purchase timber pest inspection helps identify defects caused by timber pests, like termites, borers and wood-rotting fungi, before purchasing a property – allowing potential buyers to make informed decisions about its condition. The inspection can also help identify areas of the house vulnerable to termite infestations and guide on reducing the probability of these pests invading the structure.
