Services » Termite Inspections

Did you know that termites cause more damage to Australian homes each year than all natural disasters combined?

The damage bill from a termite infestation can quickly add up to ten of thousands of dollars and this is not covered by your home and contents insurance.

One of the easiest and most cost effective ways to ensure your home doesn't get eaten out from under you is to insist on an annual termite inspection. A termite inspection won't stop you from getting termites but it will find them if you do and, if you're having your home checked annually, the damage will be minimised. A termite inspection is also a good way to alert you to any potential risk areas as well as give you sound advice on minimising the risk of a future termite attack.

Having a Thermal Imaging Camera is like having tens of thousands of highly tuned, non-contact thermometers pointing at a surface and producing an easy to understand picture. It is used to scan large sections of internal walls to detect areas of interest not normally visible to the naked eye. Everything within a wall cavity will have an affect on the surface temperature of the wall (providing it is lined with plasterboard or fibro). By using the Thermal Camera to view the wall we can see all those minute differences of temperature. If we find an abnormal difference of temperature we can use our other tools like moisture meters, electronic listening devices and/or borescope to find out the cause of the difference. Common causes of temperature change are different building materials inside the wall, electrical generated heat, high moisture or leaking areas and in some cases termite infestation as shown below.
