Termite activity in our area presents an imminent threat to any timber framed home and all out structures to yards including timber retaining walls and fencing.
Termite damage is often concealed behind wall , ceiling and floor linings and is usually difficult to detect.
Seemingly minor damage, exposed in an isolated location in the home has the potential to be the “tip of the iceberg”, with substantial hidden damage to floor and wall frames and roof members identified on a regular basis.
Damage to retaining walls and /perimeter fencing to gardens is also prevalent in the Bega Valley.
This damage has the potential to cost the home owner dearly with significant repairs often required.
It is strongly recommended that all property purchases combine a pre-purchase pest inspection assessment in conjunction with the building/structural assessment as there is no insurance that will cover against damage caused by termite penetration.
