Regular Termite Inspections

Protect your home before termites make a meal of it

When it comes to looking after your biggest investment — your home — prevention is always better than cure. That’s why the Australian Standard AS 3660.2-2017 recommends a regular termite inspection ‘be conducted at not more than 12 month intervals.’ (3.3.2.2 Termite Management Part 2: In and around existing buildings and structures.)

Early detection means early intervention, giving you the chance to act before termites cause serious and costly damage.

Just like servicing your car or clearing your gutters, a regular termite inspection is essential home maintenance. Most home insurance policies don’t cover termite damage, so that makes regular termite checks not just smart, but necessary

Why are termite inspections so important?

Widespread damage

Believe it or not, termites cause more damage each year to Victorian homes than flood, fire and storms combined. They’re one of the biggest threats to Aussie properties — period.

Rapid destruction

Termites might be tiny, but they work fast. In just three months, they can silently chew through wall frames and roof timbers — compromising the structure and safety of your home.

No insurance safety net

Think you’re covered? Think again. Most insurance policies won’t cover you for termite-related damage. A regular inspection is your best defence.

High risk across almost all of Victoria

Termite activity is a real threat, especially in urban areas. No matter where you live in Victoria, your home is at risk.

Peace-of-mind is priceless

Think of a termite inspection like insurance for your home’s structure. It’s a small step that brings big peace-of-mind, knowing your property is safe and sound.
