TIMBER PEST INSPECTIONS
Before you buy a new home, your conveyancer or solicitor will normally recommend that an inspection be made to determine the likelihood
of timber pests being present within the building.
Inspectrite staff are properly qualified and insured timber pest inspectors, and we combine the latest diagnostic tools such as Termatrac microwave technology and Thermal Imaging to
assist in making a thorough inspection of any building.
Added to this, Inspectrite staff are experienced licensed builders, who can offer expert advice on the extent and impact of any damage caused by timber pests.
THERMAL IMAGING USED FOR EVERY PEST INSPECTION
In recent years, thermal (or infra red) imaging has been adopted by innovative industry professionals to assist with building and pest
diagnostic inspections.
Thermal imaging can assist in finding areas of significant termite activity within hidden areas of any building, providing solid photographic evidence of infestation or activity without
the need for destructive investigation.

So how does a thermal imaging camera 'see' termites? Termites have distinct body temperatures just like you and I, and when congregated in nests, the nest generally becomes the same temperature
as the hundreds (or thousands) of termites inside, contrasting with surrounding temperatures. Thermal imaging cameras are very sensitive, detecting temperature differences of up to one fiftieth
of a degree celsius.
TERMATRAC MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY USED
Termatrac is a breakthrough development in the detection of termites, invented and developed in Australia using technology similar to radar, Termatrac
can precisely pinpoint the presence of termites through timber, plaster board, brick or masonry with no interference to the building material or termite activity.
The unit is actually an extremely sensitive microwave motion detector that can sense even the smallest movements behind heavy building materials including wall, floor and ceiling linings.
ACCURATE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
One of the advantages of having INSPECTRITE conduct your inspections, is that we are properly experienced, licensed and insured to provide comment on
structural damage caused by termites, as well as being able to recommend repair works and methodology.
Is the damage cosmetic or structural? Is it simply minor damage, or will it be difficult and costly to repair?
Ask an INSPECTRITE licensed builder to inspect your home for peace of mind.
