What is a Timber Pest Inspection?
A timber pest inspection is a detailed assessment of your property to detect the presence of wood-destroying organisms and conditions that may lead to infestation. It involves checking all accessible internal and external areas, including subfloors, roof voids, retaining walls, fencing and outbuildings.
Our inspections comply with Australian Standard AS 4349.3 and are carried out by experienced building inspectors who understand the local environment and building styles typical of Mid North Coast properties.
What We Look For
During your timber pest inspection, we’ll assess:
- Evidence of live termites or previous termite activity
- Signs of timber borers and associated damage
- Areas affected by fungal decay or wood rot
- High moisture readings in timber structures
- Conditions conducive to infestation, such as poor ventilation or wood-to-ground contact
- Damage to subfloor timbers, skirtings, frames, fences and more
We also use moisture meters and thermal imaging (if required) to detect concealed activity.
Why Timber Pest Inspections Are Essential on the Mid North Coast
The Mid North Coast’s warm, coastal climate makes properties in areas like Tea Gardens, Karuah and Hawks Nest particularly vulnerable to termite activity. Even modern homes can be at risk if there is insufficient ventilation, poor drainage or timber in contact with soil.
Our local knowledge means we know where pests are likely to be hiding and how to spot the warning signs before major damage occurs.
Easy-to-Read, Fast Reports
Every inspection comes with a comprehensive, plain-English report delivered within 24 hours. Reports are clear, unbiased and include photos of any affected areas along with practical recommendations for treatment or preventative measures.
If you’re buying a home, our report can also be used during pre-purchase negotiations. If you’re maintaining an investment, it offers peace of mind and a solid foundation for termite management going forward.
