Leading Termite Inspections Adelaide and Across South Australia<\/h2>\n

A timber pest inspection done according to AS 4349.3 should be considered mandatory when you are considering purchasing a new property in and around Adelaide, whether as a home owner or as a commercial investor. Hidden termite and pest damage can run into the thousands of dollars to repair, so if you don\u2019t have a termite inspection, you can run into serious unexpected problems or repairs and even structural damage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Termites Can Cause Massive Destruction to Properties<\/h3>\n

Termites can quickly damage a property. They can travel many metres to find timber to feed on and within a short time, a timber frame can be damaged and even lose its structural integrity.<\/p>\n

It can be very difficult to identify a termite infestation, because they travel underground and often enter a building unseen. This is why a regular termite inspection is important, so that any signs of termites can be detected early on and a termite control program initiated. No new property owner wants to be faced with an unexpected termite infestation and the costs involved in repairing the damage.<\/p>\n

The current owners of the property may have no idea that they have a termite infestation, so it pays to do your own due diligence before you make your final decision.<\/p>\n

Also, many financial institutions won\u2019t lend money to purchase a property without a professional pest inspection report.<\/p>\n
