What a timber pest inspection involves

If you own a property that has timber stumps, beams, cladding, or decking then it’s important to not only check for termites but also periodically check for dry rot/woodrot and woodborers. If left unchecked, the first you might know you have a problem is when your deck or pergola collapses or when you step through the timber steps.

When we inspect for Timber Pests we check for;

  • Current termite activity
  • Past history of termites
  • Extent of damage caused by termites
  • Dry rot or Woodrot in timbers
  • Conducive conditions like a leaking shower
  • Dampness under and around the house
  • Any damage by wood boring beetles
  • Safety concerns caused by timber pests

We are experts in timber pest detection and advice

  • We use specialised technology like Termatrac to assist us to find activity that the human eye can’t detect.
  • Our inspectors have combined experience of more than 20 years, are licensed, fully insured, good communicators and professional.

We are not only termite specialists but are also building consultants. This is important because we understand buildings and how termites can affect a building structure. We can provide advice on structural integrity issues and the best way forward to correct any damage. Most Pest Managers don’t have a background in building.

The most important thing you can do is to be diligent in managing your property which involves regular inspections.  You don’t need to be afraid you just need to have a regular inspection and stay on top of avoiding a potential large expense. You are probably aware that termite damage is not covered by your home insurance.

If we find termites, we will recommend you to a highly reputable pest management business. This removes any doubt about any perceved interest in selling pest management products.

“I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Surety (particularly Brendan, Richard and Jacqui) for the valuable inspection work and advice. I am happy to recommend my friends who are going to knockdown and rebuild their houses to use your service.”

Jinglong, ACT New Construction Package Client

“Surety Property offers the highest level of service. The inspection people are professional, knowledgeable and credible. Surety is thorough, very transparent and independent in reporting defects. I used Surety after reading a Facebook review for the practical completion defect report, and got them back for the 90 Day maintenance liability period. I was very impressed with the service, communications and evidence-based report. I would highly recommend Surety Property for building and construction inspections throughout any part of the lifecycle of a build or renovation.”
