Our termite inspection reports
Our termite inspections only use report formats that meet nationally accepted Australian Standard 4349.3 and are approved by our insurers. Our inspection reports detail the areas inspected, observations of the technician, termite risk level and finally, recommendations to minimise that risk.Â
If we find termites, don’t worry you are in good hands. Our pest controllers will:
- Thoroughly assess and determine the full extent of the infestation and any resultant damage
- Take all practical steps to locate the termite entry points – locating the entry point is not always achievable given most termite entry is concealed but, if it can be found, it can be sealed to stop future entry
- Precisely identify the termite species – knowing and understanding the habits of the species allows for more effective, long term termite control
- Explain in full their assessment and findings
- Give you detailed advice on the treatment options
- Carry out the treatments to strict quality standards and specifications
Pre purchase inspections & timber pest inspections
Many lending authorities, through the real estate agent and contract of sale, require the buyer of a home to obtain a pre-purchase report from a pest control company before approving finance.
We understand that quite often these reports are required within 14 days of signing an Offer and Acceptance.
At Termitrust, we recognise the urgency and importance of pre-purchase inspections. That’s why our pest control technicians follow our high inspection and reporting standards covering termites, borers and fungus (wood decay). The inspection is carried out in accordance with Australian Standard 4349.3.Â
Our Termitrust centres are geared for prompt responses for pre purchase and timber pest inspections. By choosing Termitrust for your pre-purchase termite inspection, you are ensuring that every detail is meticulously checked, and any risks are identified early, to avoid any unexpected surprises down the track. Trust our experienced professionals to safeguard your investment and provide you with the comprehensive reports you need to proceed with confidence.
Our Inspection Process
We like you to know exactly what our inspections involve and our pest control technicians are more than happy to answer all your questions.
Termite or white ant inspections are a mostly visual process with the technician checking accessible areas of your home and property. The skill, knowledge and experience of a technician are critical in the inspection process.Â
Prior to the inspection, our technicians will explain exactly the areas to be inspected and those that can’t be. A note of any inaccessible areas is made on your inspection report and why it was not inspected.
We will ask permission to access private areas of your home or remove any necessary panels.
Inspections are carried out to a set checklist and include:
Kitchen and bathroom cupboards, skirting boards and wooden door jams, carpet tracking strips, floorboards, ceilings and cornices and gyprock walls.Â
We systematically check other timbers in order of roof construction – top plates, ceiling joists, hanging beams, strutting beams, struts, underpurlins and collar ties.
Where present access traps may need to be cut to gain access. We will only do this with your permission. We inspect brick, concrete or limestone piers with ant caps and check possible leads which may bridge capping into floor bearers and joists.Â
Inspection of window frames, fascia boards and any wooden items that are part of, or attached to the home. Gardens and property are also inspected and this can include trees, landscaping, old stumps and storage areas.
