A Pest Inspection is highly recommended before purchasing a property to ensure that no hidden structural issues exist. Timber pests are common in all properties and can undermine timber structures. These pests can include termites, wood borers and wood decay fungi (wood rot).

All homes contain timber elements that are vulnerable to attack from timber pests. Termites and destructive timber pest activity in the northern reaches of Australia is at a rate where the economic impact is difficult to even estimate. Secretive by nature, destructive timber pests can cause major structural damage in very short timeframes.

Our pest inspections look at things such as:

• Subterranean Termites or evidence of termite activity and damage as well as evidence of any previous Termite treatment.
• Timber borers or evidence of timber borers and damage.
• Wood rot or wood decay fungi damage that can cause potential safety hazards in timber structures such as rotten timber steps, handrails and balconies.
• Our reports indicate any conditions that may be conducive to Termite attack or conditions that can cause wood rot.
