Our termite and pest inspections are rigorous and start outside the building looking for any damage/workings from termites along with checking conducive condition. We then continue inside the building checking for signs of excessive moisture which can be an attractant for termites. Inspectors will carry out moisture testing along with checking for any prior treatments.
As termites are around 70% water, high moisture readings in supposedly dry surfaces like wooden door frames are a good indicator that termites might be present. As soon as we get an indication of termites we will investigate further to determine the extent of any damage.
Want to be present during the inspection? Sure! Feel free to watch your Inspector in action. At the end of the inspection – at your request – your Inspector will be very happy to walk you through the report.
