Identify Timber Pest Issues Before Damage Escalates
Timber pest damage can be difficult to detect until the problem has already spread. Termites and other timber pests can affect flooring, framing, skirting, roof timbers, subfloor areas and external timber elements, especially where moisture or poor ventilation is present.
A timber pest inspection helps identify visible pest activity, timber damage and conditions that may increase the risk of future infestation. It gives you clearer information before buying, selling, treating, maintaining or investigating a property.
- Identify visible termite and timber pest activity
