- Termites are capable of destroying timbers beyond repair in less than three months. Settlement dates are sometimes longer than this.
- Termites can be hidden underneath the ground and in concealed areas of the home and out of sight.
- Termite activity & damage may be present in the home even though a full termite management system is in place.
- Brand new homes also require inspections to determine if the barrier is in place and installed to Australian Standards 3660.1 new construction.
- Australian Standards 3660.1-2000, Termite Management part 1 States “a Termite Management System constructed in accordance with this standard cannot prevent termite attack, as barriers may be bridged or breached.”
- TPC Property Inspections has saved thousands of homebuyers the devastation of purchasing a Termite infested property.
- When a Timber Pest Inspection for an average home costs a couple hundred dollars to inspect, why risk it?
Poor drainage increases the likelihood of Termite Ingress and leads to timber decay (wood rot). This will, over time, destroy your timbers and beyond repair. Full replacement will be required, costing you big $$$.
