5 items

We inspect the accessible timber, the subfloor, the roof void, the perimeter and the fence lines and outbuildings, using a moisture meter and a thermal camera on the walls we cannot open. What matters as much as live activity is the conducive conditions: a garden bed built above the slab edge, a leaking outdoor tap, a rendered over weep hole, a slab join that has opened up. Those get photographed and listed with what to do about them. Reported to AS 4349.3, with the management recommendation set out under AS 3660.2.

Included in the price

  • Accessible timber, subfloor and roof void inspected
  • Moisture meter and thermal read of the wall linings we cannot open
  • Perimeter, fence lines, stumps and outbuildings within thirty metres
  • Written report to AS 4349.3 with photos of every finding
  • Conducive conditions listed with a plain fix for each

Asked every week

Asked about this job.

How often does a northside house need one?
Every twelve months, and every six on a high risk block, which here means backing onto bushland or a creek, or a slab you cannot see the edge of. Most builder warranties and termite management warranties require the annual inspection to stay valid.
What happens if you find live termites?
We do not disturb them. Live workings are the fastest way to reach the nest, so we leave the lead intact, explain the options and quote the management work separately. Spraying a lead yourself is the one thing that makes the job harder.
Is an inspection the same as protection?
No. An inspection tells you what is happening today. A management system, a chemical barrier or a bait station ring, is what keeps them out afterwards, and it is quoted separately.

  • Thorough, and the report came through that night with photos of the moisture reading. He also told me which of the findings could wait, which no one else has bothered to do.

  • Acreage, three sheds and a lot of stumps. He did the lot and found an old nest in a fence post at the back boundary that no one had ever looked at.
