WORRIED ABOUT TERMITES?

They may be tiny but they’re a big problem. And what they lack in size they make up for in numbers. Termite inspections are the best way to ensure your property is free of termites.

GOLD COAST HIGH TERMITE RISK

Termites love the warm climate and lush soil of the Gold Coast. Brick homes are just as susceptible because termites live in the ground and enter homes through small cracks or expansion joints looking for that irresistible combination of timber and moisture. They will often damage other materials they can’t digest (eg plastic, rubber, metal or mortar) in their search for food – damage we can detect Gold Coast pre purchase termite inspection.

WHAT AREAS DO OUR INSPECTIONS COVER?

Our Gold Coast pre purchase termite inspection includes a thorough investigation of all roof voids and subfloor areas including decks, inside and outside of the building, fences, outbuildings, retaining walls, exposed timbers, trees, stumps and garden beds. We use current Australian Standard AS4349.3 equipment (moisture meter and sound tapping device), thermal imaging (large termite infestations produce a lot of heat) and borescopes as needed.

BUYING A HOUSE? DON’T GET CAUGHT OUT

Investing in a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make. Severe termite damage can cost hundreds of thousands to repair. Before you commit, take the time to get a Gold Coast pre purchase termite inspection done by a qualified expert. Ideally, do it as soon as possible so you can make better informed decisions about the property you’re buying and the price you will pay.

FIRST DETECT THE PEST, THEN PROTECT

Thermal imaging and moisuture meteres are tools we use to detect termites in our termite inspections – but they’re not the holy grail. Experience and knowledge are our most powerful weapons. And if we do find termites, we can discuss effective and safe termite treatment options with you. We recommend EXTERRA Termite Interception and Baiting System for total protection.

THE LATEST TERMITE INSPECTION TECHNOLOGY

Thermal imaging should be a standard part of the arsenal of any termite inspection. Termite areas show a heat signature that is detectable with a good thermal imaging device. Termites create heat by mudding, which brings in moisture. They also create carbon dioxide as they digest, which creates heat. The heat signature of the termite is therefore a very important way that termites give themselves away. A properly trained and experienced operator using thermal imagine can spot termites inside wall cavities.

Thermal imaging is not the only tool Richard will use when he inspects your home for termites. Richard also uses moisture meters—an extremely valuable piece of technological equipment that helps detect termite infestation. Moisture Meters detect leaks and dampness in walls, and floors and ceilings, helping to locate problems before they turn into something bigger. Like any living being, termites need water. They need it to live and to help break down the timber in your home, making it soft and edible. Termite areas, therefore, attract moisture and our advanced moisture meters help us detect those termites.
