A timber pest inspection for a home is a thorough examination conducted by a qualified inspector to assess the property for any signs of timber pests, such as termites, wood borers, or fungal decay.
This involves inspecting areas such as basements, crawl spaces, attics, and any other accessible areas where timber may be present. The inspector will look for signs of pest activity, including mud tubes, termite droppings, damaged wood, or hollow-sounding timber.
The inspector will examine the exterior of the home, including the foundation, siding, roof, decking, and landscaping features. They'll look for any visible signs of timber pest activity, such as damaged or deteriorating wood, termite shelter tubes, or termite wings around windows and doors.
These areas are commonly accessed during the inspection to check for any signs of timber pest activity or damage. Inspectors may use specialized tools, such as moisture meters or thermal imaging cameras, to detect hidden infestations or moisture issues.
