Common question
How does a termite inspection work, and what happens if termites are found?
A licensed technician inspects the interior, roof void, sub-floor, perimeter, fences and trees within 30 metres using thermal imaging and moisture meters, to AS 3660.2 and AS 4349.3. You get a photographic report the same day. If activity is found, we quote a chemical soil barrier or baiting system and eliminate the colony, not just the termites you can see.
01What you notice
It usually starts with something small. A door that suddenly sticks. A skirting board that sounds hollow when the vacuum hits it. A little rippling in the paint near the laundry. By the time a Sydney homeowner calls us, the colony has often been feeding inside the wall for months - quietly, 24 hours a day, on the one asset that isn't insured against it.
02Why it keeps coming back
That's the part that hurts. Standard home and contents policies exclude termite damage, so the repair bill lands entirely on you. Timber pests cause more damage to Australian homes every year than fire and flood combined, and the homes that get hit hardest are rarely neglected ones. They're normal, well-kept houses where nobody looked behind the plasterboard.
03How we solve it
So we look. Properly. Thermal imaging and moisture readings across the interior, roof void, sub-floor, perimeter, fence lines and every tree within 30 metres, then a photographic report in plain English the same day. If there's nothing there, you get proof and a list of the conditions making your place attractive. If there is, we show you the activity on site, explain whether a chemical barrier or a baiting system suits your build, and eliminate the colony at the source.
