Timber Pest Inspection
A ‘Timber Pest Inspection‘ OR ‘Pest Inspection‘ as it is usually called, is strongly recommended in the Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Central Coast areas. Termites are a major problem that can cause significant structural and economic damage. During a pest inspection we look for: Live termites, evidence of past Termite activity, structural damage, any nests or conditions conducive to Termite attack. We check existing Termite Management Systems, past Termite treatments and any warranty considerations.
We also look for Wood decay Fungi, which whilst not as ‘evocative’ as a termite infestation, wood decay can cost more to fix in the long run and be a major safety hazard, such as collapsing balconies. We check timber decks, pergolas, balconies, handrails, steps, carports etc for problems.
Timber Borers can cause damage to structural and decorative timbers and should be identified in case treatment or repair is required.
Our pest inspectors are very experienced and use a series of specialised inspection procedures AND the latest technology to look for termites, structural termite damage, and conditions conducive to termite attack. We will also make recommendations for treatments and inspections.
