Professional termite inspections - Adelaide

• Inspect all buildings, structures and attachments within the property boundaries. This includes full inspection every room in turn and of the roof void and subfloor areas (if present)
• Inspect timber fences, decks, pergolas, outbuildings, trees and landscape timbers up to 30m radius from the mail building (within the property boundaries)

It is important to understand that we can only inspect areas to which we can access, so please make sure we can access all rooms, the roof void and sub-floor.

It’s also important to remember that the standard termite inspection is a visual termite inspection – we don’t go breaking open any walls and we are not allowed to move heavy furniture which may be blocking access to inspect walls.

However, we do use a range of devices to help us work out what might be happening behind the walls. There are three pieces of equipment we regularly use:

• Donger: a device to tap /sound wood construction elements for damage
• Moisture meter: for finding leaks and areas of moisture which could indicate termite activity
• Termatrac: the latest termite detection device

Termatrac T3i is a 3-in-1 device using three different technologies – moisture meter, thermal sensor (to detect termite nests / areas of activity behind walls) and motion detector (to pick up termite movement and allow identification of potential entry points).

The key output from the inspection is a comprehensive written report (minimum 16 x A4 pages) with photos detailing:

• Any visual evidence of any current termite activity (species, location, extent)
• The extent and location of any termite damage
• Recommendations for any additional inspections
• Any environmental conditions or building construction faults that make your property more likely to come under termite attack
• Recommendations for solving construction faults and environmental issues to reduce the changes of a termite attack
• The overall risk of the property suffering a termite attack.
• Any termite management systems already in place and recommendations on its maintenance requirements (if the system is still active)
• Recommendations for a termite management plan to eliminate any current infestation and protect the property from future termite attack
