Termite & Timber Pest Inspection
Estimated arrival time: 24 to 48 hours
Description
A termite and timber pest inspection is an essential risk management service aimed at identifying active pest infestations, subterranean termite activity, fungal decay, and wood-boring beetle damage. Conducted in accordance with Australian Standard AS 3660, this non-invasive assessment helps property owners and buyers safeguard timber structural components against severe degradation. Qualified pest inspectors utilize specialized equipment, including thermal imaging cameras and acoustic moisture sensors, to detect pest activity concealed behind wall linings, beneath floorboards, and within subfloor or roof timber cavities. The inspection also evaluates environmental risk factors on the site, such as poor drainage, timber-to-soil contact, and inadequate ventilation that could invite future pest entry. Upon completion, a detailed timber pest report is delivered within 24 hours. The documentation outlines any detected activity, identifies high-risk timber zones, evaluates structural impact, and offers clear, actionable recommendations for treatment, preventive termite barriers, and ongoing site management.
