Sydney homes are particularly vulnerable to termites. 1 in 3 homes will be affected during their lifetime, causing millions of dollars in damages every year. Regular inspections are the best defence against expensive structural damage.
What Types of Properties Should Be Inspected?
- Residential homes (especially timber or older homes)
- Townhouses and units with garden access
- Investment properties (rented or vacant)
- Commercial buildings with wooden structures or landscaping
- Newly purchased properties before settlement
- Properties near bushland or water (high-risk zones)
If your property is built on piers, has a subfloor, or is surrounded by trees and moisture – it needs annual inspection.
