Visual Subterranean Termite Inspections Post Construction as 3660.2 2000

Inspection

Termite damage is costly to repair & also can be structurally damaging. Termite eradication if needed usually requires some form of chemical treatment. A good inspection will show you how to be aware of the risks your property may face. Then to act in a preventative way, & if needed protect your residence in the future ahead. Australian Standard recommends 12 monthly inspections as a minimum so that termite problems are smaller rather than bigger. It is more manageable if the residence & property is inspected regularly so that the home owner can have peace of mind. From experience however significant termite damage (depending on species) can occur in less than 3 months.
