Timber and Pest Inspection

From $440+ GST
Termites can compromise the stability of buildings and homes by weakening their foundation. They can also cause extensive damage to wall frames, roof structures, bearers, and joists. Repairing this kind of termite damage can be quite costly, so taking measures to prevent these insects from infesting your property is crucial. Termites are a homeowner’s worst nightmare because they are highly destructive insects that can go unnoticed for long periods, causing significant damage. Termite infestation is difficult to detect due to their subterranean nature and use of concealed entry points and mud tubes. They silently eat away at the insides of homes, often becoming noticeable only when substantial damage has already occurred. Various methods of termite control are available to homeowners and businesses, including mechanical barriers installed around buildings’ exteriors to keep termites out and chemical treatments applied inside structures for protection against infestations.

Timber Pest Inspection

From $425+ GST
Sydney’s climate and environment place it in the second-highest risk category for subterranean termites, making timber pest inspection in Sydney a necessity. Many homeowners, builders, designers, and tradespeople underestimate the risks of termite pest inspection in Sydney, assuming that modern infrastructure provides protection. This, coupled with our more relaxed building codes (compared with the tropical regions of Australia) one could argue the ‘actual risk’ is just as high. This is especially true with older-style buildings that were constructed with limited consideration for subterranean termite attack. Sydney is the ‘first colony’ with the highest number of old buildings and the largest geographical spread. The city is ‘hemmed in’ by the Great Dividing Range to the west, bodies of water and national parks to the north and south, and the Pacific Ocean / Tasman Sea to the east. With nearly 5.3 million residents, the city is interspersed with pockets of bushland, national parks, rivers, and parklands. The abundance of established Eucalypt trees (for nesting), moisture, and exposed timber like trees, logs, and unprotected timber buildings, make Sydney a ‘Termite’s Paradise’. A ‘Timber Pest Inspection’ in Sydney is strongly recommended as part of any building investigation. This applies to homes, villas, townhouses, units, apartments, and commercial properties. Perhaps the exception to the rule might be new ‘high-rise’ units on the upper levels of ‘concrete towers’. Keep in mind that Subterranean Termites are used to traveling vertically up very tall trees and will often ‘climb’ the full height of any structure in an apparent attempt to gauge the size of the timber resource. We commonly find them in the ‘apex of the roof frame’ and termites can gain access to buildings many stories above ground level. As part of a ‘pre-purchase’ or ‘pre-sale’ building & timber pest inspection, we look at all the conditions relating to timber pest attacks. Timber pests include (subterranean) termites, wood borers, and wood decay fungi (wood rot). Timber pests are common in all types of properties and can undermine timber structures, create safety hazards, and cause significant economic damage. All homes contain timber elements that could be vulnerable to attack from timber pests. The CSIRO states that approximately one in five Sydney properties contain some form of termite activity (historical damage or active termites). If you’re planning to buy, sell, or maintain your property, scheduling a timber pest inspection in Sydney is a wise decision.
