Termites can cause a lot of damage to a home, and you won’t even know it until it is too late. It is estimated that millions of dollars are spent each year to rectify damage done by termites and other timber pests, which proves without a doubt the importance of carrying out a timber pest inspection in Sydney or elsewhere, before investing your hard-earned money on a new home.
Termites destroy homes by eating through timber laden areas as well as timber furniture and other items. The damage that they do can go unnoticed for years, because it is not visible to the eye since they destroy from within the timber, and the danger is that they could be eating away at timber that defines the structural integrity of your home, meaning that it could be dangerous for you and your family. In addition to the obvious dangers, timber repairs can cost a lot of money, which is why you should be careful when buying a new home.
These pests can also spread very fast, so if there is a house in the neighbourhood that is infested with termites, the infestation could soon spread to many other houses in the area as well.
The personnel who carry our timber pest inspections in Sydney are highly qualified and certified, and they are experts at finding even the smallest signs of termites and other timber pests, which you or I may not even notice.
One of the best ways of preventing termite infestations is to get regular pest inspections and to follow it up with termite treatments in your home. This additional small investment will be well worth it, considering the cost of replacing or repairing timber damaged by these pests. However, when getting a timber inspection done, make sure that you are getting it done through a professional with years of experience, so that you can be confident in their assessment.
