Termites may be small however, they can make a substantial impact to your property and cause thousands of dollars worth of damage. The worst part is, most insurance companies do not cover damage caused by termites and if termites were able to damage something structural on your home than rectification costs can sky rocket substantially. Termites will usually inhabit areas close to the coastline of the Australian borded which puts Melbourne and the surrounding coastal suburbs in the high risk category.

Our termite control services have been ethically designed to ensure that your home remains structurally sound and a thorough inspection of your home will be completed including your yard and fenced area as once termites find a path to your home, they will start munching away at anything they can find.

Here are the finer details that you will have to consider if you plan to sell your home at the right price.

Worth of the home

There’s nothing more exciting than building a new home. With a new chapter in the wings, a fresh start, and an opportunity to design your own living space, building a new home is certainly one of life’s major milestones. With that being said, it isn’t always smooth sailing. At Select House Inspections, we come across new homes all the time that are in need of further work, with minor and sometimes major defects present after the build. While professional building inspections come with the territory whenever new homes are built, our team of Melbourne-based building and property inspectors will go that extra mile to ensure your new home is as structurally sound and defect-free as possible. We follow all the strict building codes that are associated with new home builds and the building industry as a whole, and provide our clients with the most detailed and insightful building inspection reports available. Having all the information in the palm of your hand certainly adds to your position amid the handover process, so trusting a recommended Melbourne property inspector such as Select House Inspections can only be a good thing.  

While other building inspectors may offer similar services, our experience has proven that many areas not covered by the Australian Standards (AS4349.0) are regularly being flagged as defects, so Select House Inspections promise our duty of pre-handover responsibility extends to these often-overlooked areas as well. We search from top to bottom, inside and out, for possible defects (no matter how subtle), as well all the fixtures and fittings including, windows and sliding doors, ceiling fans/exhaust fans, floor coverings, cabinets, smoke alarms, fireplaces and chimneys, as well as the inside doors.  We are this thorough and this vigilant with our pre-handover house inspections in order to confidently sign off on your new home to ensure the best possible situation for everyone involved. Building a new home can be a stressful period, and unforeseen costs can certainly arise, so that’s why hiring Select House Inspections to take the guesswork out of any possible pitfalls down the line makes sense.

A small cost now could literally save you tens of thousands of dollars later.

Damaged Timber

If you start to notice damaged timber around your home that feels lightweight, easy to break and pull apart with a hollow feeling to it – this is a strong indication of termites being present in your home.

Physically Seeing Termites

Termites are usually thought to be creatures that will hide so well within your home that you would never see them however, if you look along fence lines, in old tree stumps around your property you may typically see them.

Termite Tracks

Termite tracks look like dirt/mud casing tunnels that they build to provide protection from predators so that they can safely move around. If they are not underground than there is a good chance that they will build these tracks in humid places around your home.

Whats in a termite inspection report?

Our termite inspectors look for faults in your home that may cause future issues, not only with termites but also with other problems such as leaking plumbing, wood rot, broken roofing, leaking roofs and garden issues. In our termite reports, we list all these issues and also our recommendations to fix the problems. The homeowner can rectify most of these issues.

 A full termite report should state that the termite inspection has been carried out according to Australian Standard 3660.2.2000. The termite report will describe the property and what areas have been inspected. It will also list all the areas that are unable to be examined (this usually is due to access issues). Our termite reports will list any termite activity and working (new and old) and record any current visual termite damage. The termite reports will note any present conditions that may encourage a termite attack, including such things as high levels of moisture, leaks, construction faults, gardens too high, structural timber in contact with soil, poor drainage or poor ventilation
