Protect Your Brisbane Home from Termites
Termites threaten Brisbane properties. Your home represents a significant financial investment. Protecting it requires vigilance against these destructive pests. Tom's Pest Control offers thorough termite inspections to safeguard your property. We identify termite activity before damage becomes severe, preserving your home's structural integrity and value.
A professional termite inspection brisbane is your first line of defence. Termites often work silently, causing extensive hidden damage before homeowners notice any signs. Tom's Pest Control inspectors use specialised tools and proven methods, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of your property. We inspect all accessible areas, looking for the subtle indicators of termite presence.
The Inspection Process Explained
Our inspection process follows a systematic approach, leaving no potential entry point unchecked. We use simple language to explain our findings and the implications for your home.
1. Interior Inspection: We carefully examine interior spaces. We check walls, floors, ceilings, and skirting boards for signs of mud tubing or structural damage. We focus particular attention on wet areas like bathrooms and laundries, where termites seek moisture. We look for blistering paint or hollow-sounding timber, which often indicates activity behind surfaces.
2. Exterior and Foundation Check: Termites often gain entry through the foundation or ground contact points. We inspect the exterior perimeter, including foundations, concrete slabs, and weep holes. We examine landscaping, garden beds, fences, and retaining walls, as these structures often serve as bridges for termites to reach your home. We look closely at trees and stumps near the house, which termites may colonise.
3. Sub-Floor and Roof Void Assessment: If your home has a sub-floor space, we access and inspect all visible timber structures. The sub-floor environment, often damp and dark, provides ideal conditions for termite activity. Similarly, we inspect the roof void. We look for signs of damage in rafters, ceiling joists, and roof timbers. Identifying activity here is crucial, as damage to the roof structure compromises the entire home.
We look for critical signs confirming a termite presence. These include mud tubes, which termites build for protected travel. We also look for frass (termite droppings) and damaged timber displaying characteristic tunnels. Early detection saves you significant repair costs and stress.
