When you buy a used car you wouldn’t just look under the bonnet. The vehicle needs to be thoroughly checked inside, outside and underneath for a range of mechanical and structural issues. It’s the same when you buy a house or unit. A Timber Pest Inspection, commonly referred to as a ‘Pest Inspection’ looks for Termite damage as well as Wood Rot (wood Decay Fungi) that can cause structural issues and potential safety hazards. You may not think termites are not a problem in a big city like Sydney. Think again. Up to thirty percent of homes in Sydney have had some form of Termite activity. The CSIRO has rated Sydney as the second highest risk zone in Australia for Termite attack. All homes contain timber elements in their construction and are at HIGH RISK of Termite attack That’s why we strongly recommend customers arrange a Combined Building and Timber Pest Inspection.
