Thorough Pre-Purchase Termite Inspection In Albury

Purchasing a home is a major decision and nothing will ruin the excitement more than discovering termites have moved in, before you. We provide pre-purchase inspections to help you avoid costly repairs and give you peace of mind. Our licensed and fully-trained staff will perform a thorough inspection and will provide a full report to give to your lender.

Termite Inspection Process

Depending on several factors, the inspection will take 1 – 2 hours. Termites and other timber pests can travel 50 metres underground so it’s vital that fencing and other areas around the house undergo a proper inspection. We’ll inspect the house, fences, sheds, and treed areas on the property.

Our knowledgeable technicians will then inform you about any current infestation, previous damage, areas likely to be infested in the future, and areas where additional inspections are needed. This allows us to recommend the best physical and chemical timber pest barriers to be put in place beforehand.

In Australia, it’s recommended to get your home inspected for termites every 6 to 12 months. Doing this prevents the insects from establishing colonies and causing damage. If you’re a current homeowner, it’s a preventative measure you can take to ensure your home’s structural integrity.

You can depend on our decades of experience and commitment to providing you with exceptional service to help you make sure the home you’re purchasing will be free from pests.

Do I really need a pre-purchase termite inspection?

There are so many costs involved when it comes to buying a new house that you may be tempted to cut corners. A pre-purchase termite inspection is one you mustn’t miss out on. Termites are responsible for billions of dollars’ worth of damage to properties across Australia every year and the latest CSIRO report suggests there could be as many as one-third of Australian homes that have termite activity. 

How much damage can termites do?

Around one in five Australian homes will suffer significant termite damage during their lifetime. This damage can cost up to $10,000 to rectify. The bulk of insurers will not cover termite damage, and the effects on the financial, emotional and general well-being of your family can be significant. 


Add in the fact that termite damage is invisible until it’s too late, and the need for a reliable and efficient pre-purchase termite inspection is clear. Termites damage the fundamental structure of a building with devastating and costly consequences.

Termite Inspections FAQs


Why are pre-purchase termite inspections important?

Around one in three Australian homes falls victim to termites at some point, and this could happen at any time. In fact, a house you purchase may already have termites, and the previous owners might also be unaware during the transaction. Conducting a preemptive inspection can give you peace of mind or reveal any problems that can be dealt with before you buy the property.

How often should I get a termite inspection?

Outside pre-purchase inspections, we recommend you get a professional termite check every year just to be sure your property is healthy and won’t sustain significant wood damage in the upcoming months. Leaving this for longer could lead to permanent damage, as dealing with termites within a year usually allows you to repair any broken wood without too many concerns. High-risk properties might require more frequent inspections.

Do I still need inspections after treatment?

Even after a termite treatment, it’s possible for them to come back; this protection dulls over time to the point that termites will eventually be able to cross pesticide barriers. It’s important you get an inspection 12 months after a successful treatment just to be safe, especially if the alternative is permanent damage. While the risk of termite intrusion is significantly lower during the months after treatment, regular inspections are still paramount.

How soon after an inspection can I have a treatment carried out?

If you require termite treatment after an inspection, we hope to conduct this as soon as possible, but there are some factors that might delay this. For example, rain can impact the strength of pesticides and other chemical-based solutions – leaving them at risk of dilution. We make sure to conduct our termite treatment work only when we’re sure that it will be fully effective.
