Termite Inspection Pest Inspections
If you own your own home or even an investment property this is perhaps one of the most important inspections to complete annually.
Termite inspections not only check for active termites but they also check for conducive conditions that can draw termites into your property.
Termite inspections are so important the Australian Standards recommend annual inspection but more is preferred. The reason is that termite inspections do not prevent termites but regular inspection can find activity early before there is extensive damage.
Certain species of termite like the coptotermes can eat ¾ of the house in 6 months. Termite activity or damage is not covered by your home insurance, This is why the Australian Standards recommend at least one inspection per year.
If you have a new home, you may think your excluded from inspections. Its quite the opposite actually. Physical termite barriers in new homes are designed to expose termites to visual locations and not allow concealed termite ingress. By forcing termites to build their mud tubes around the termite barrier it will make it easier for an inspector to find during the annual termite inspections.
When you buy or build a new home there is warranty guarantee for termites and any infestation, to maintain this warranty you must have annual termite inspections. If you do not have the annual termite inspections completed you will forfeit any warranty and it will be cancelled.
Termite inspections whether its for an old existing home or a new property will identify conducive conditions.
Conducive conditions can be things like water leaks from your bathroom or gutters, we find that 90% of the time termites enter a home from a leaking bathroom or laundry. The moisture in the soil draws them up and leads them straight into your framing members.
Keeping your house dry will go a very long way on keeping your home termite free.
This also relates to subfloors. Subfloors that are damp and have a lot of water ingress from stormwater are heavily prone to termite activity. Installation of passive vents or a subfloor ventilation can help or even better is installing a drainage system that diverts storm water away from the subfloor.
There are many things that can be done to prevent termite ingress. For free advice or to arrange your termite inspection give Clear View Property Inspections a call!
