We use the latest technology to find termite activity including the world-leading Termtrac radar detection device.

So What does this device do?

The radar sensor releases high-frequency low microwave emissions to penetrate the building material. The wave-forms can penetrate most building materials and detect any difference in the reflected waveform. These differences come about from interference caused by the movement which is then displayed on the Operators screen. This allows operators who use the device to locate and track termite activity and other pest activity beneath the surface.

Your Complete Pre Purchase Termite Inspection Includes:

• A comprehensive report with photographs.
• The inspection covers roof timbers, kitchen & bathroom cupboards, skirting areas, door & window frames. We will also check timber doorsteps, window sills, floorboards & sub-floor areas (if present & accessible).
• Exterior areas and immediate surrounds up to 30 m away (does not include neighbour’s property). Also any mature trees, stumps, timber fences, posts, landscaping timbers, garages, sheds, and other structures.
• Any old termite activity is photographed and commented on if found.
• Also, any conducive and high-risk areas are pointed out and photographed.
• As well as termites, other timber pests such as borers & wood decay (fungal rot) are reported on.
• We also check on the extent of any chemical delignification if present in roof timbers.
• Bathroom & laundry walls, around taps & showers, and under sinks are checked for high moisture content. We use a Tremex moisture meter or the Termatrac device advanced moisture sensor.
• Advice on termite control and management.
• High-risk areas, old activity, and suspicious areas will be checked with the Termatrac device using termite detection radar.
