Termite Inspection Toowoomba

At Holloway & Co, we know just how devastating a termite infestation can be. That’s why we’re proud to offer an inspection service, which is sure to uncover any pest hiding on your property. When it comes to termites, we can easily find them thanks to our knowledge of common termite hiding spots. These are dangerous creatures, able to cause a lot of structural damage if you don’t deal with them swiftly. This means if you notice any wood damages you just can’t explain, you should get in touch as soon as you can and book a professional inspection.

How we conduct a termite inspection

As experts in dealing with termites, we know where they often hide, and how to conduct an effective, efficient inspection of your property. Here are the major hotspots that we check:

• The house itself: Pests congregate at doors, cupboards, skirting, and other wooden features of the home. We check these parts for damages and determine if termites are nearby.
• Under the house: Everything from the joists, flooring and bearers could be weak to termites, and inspections can easily miss this out if you aren’t careful.
• The ceiling and roof: Vents, skylights, guttering, and trusses are also in need of a quick check; these are other possible hiding places that less-seasoned services could miss.
• Timber in the yard: Termites don’t just attack the property; tree stumps and fences are also targets. Without checking this, another group could easily head into your home.

What’s included in a Termite Inspection Report?

After our inspection, we compile a report to let you know our findings, alongside the next steps you can take. The report includes:

• Any visual indication of termites, such as damaged or dusty wood, or any other clear symptoms we notice.
• Information on damages that can lead to an infestation (if one doesn’t already exist) such as leaks or fungus.
• An accurate quote on the cost to repair any damages that termites have done to your home, or recommendations for preventative treatment.
• Alternatively, if your home is seemingly termite-free, the report will let you know.

Pre-Purchase Termite Inspection

When you buy a home, you want to be sure you’re getting the best deal – and that there are no nasty surprises waiting for you. For this reason, you can book an independent termite inspection to uncover an infestation you might not realise until after you buy the property, where it becomes your responsibility to fix.

Always choose an inspection agency yourself to ensure you get an unbiased report – one which doesn’t rush to close a deal as quickly as possible. This is the only way to guarantee a full, accurate picture of a home’s termite situation.
