Don’t Let Timber Pest Damage Stay Hidden
Timber pest issues are not always easy to see during a quick walkthrough. Termite activity, timber damage, moisture problems and pest-conducive conditions can sit behind walls, under floors, in roof spaces or around external areas before becoming obvious.
A pest only inspection helps buyers, sellers and property owners understand visible timber pest risks without adding a full building inspection component. It is useful when the main concern is termite activity, timber damage, moisture-related risk or pest conditions that may need further attention.
