Why Leaky Showers Attract Termites

TPC Property Services do a LOT of building and pest inspections on the Gold Coast. We do pre-sale inspections for sellers wanting to be sure that nothing will stand in the way of a straight forward sale. We do pre-purchase building and pest  inspections for buyers wanting to be sure that the home they are wanting to buy is not only built soundly but is pest free.

We see a lot of termite damage and 2 common causes of termites getting into the tasty timbers your home is built with are 1. organic matter such as timber and plants piled up against the side of the home and 2. leaking bathrooms, kitchens and laundries – in fact anywhere a leak can be found such as in the roof or gutters. If you see signs of water leaks anywhere in the home it is absolutely critical that you get the leak fixed and check for termite activity using a licensed operator like TPC Property Services.

Water dripping onto timber softens up the timber making it easy for termites to find their way in and set up home. If this timber is in your home you can very quickly end up with a massive termite damage bill.

A regular termite inspection is like an insurance policy. We highly recommend that all homes in termite areas such as the Gold Coast take out a termite insurance policy – call us today – have a chat with Luke – Call 1300 552 234

Here’s what happens when leaks go unnoticed:

Pre-Purchase Pest Inspections That Are Affordable In Your Area

Now that you have spent the time to find a home that you want to buy, one that could be relatively new, and is definitely appealing, before you make the final purchase, there are certain things that you need to accomplish prior to signing on the dotted line. One of those is to make sure that you have no pests in your home, and that the structural integrity of the property is consistent and sound.

This is what you need to do to find a pre-purchased pest inspection company that can get this job done for you right away or check this About.Me page for more information...

Pre-Purchase Pest Inspections That Are Affordable

When you start to evaluate the different businesses that will check for pest, choose a company that is relatively well-known. You won't be able to know from the phone book whether or not a company has a good reputation. This is something that will come from word-of-mouth advertising, or you will have to do your research on the web. Once you have found a couple candidates, make sure that you choose one that is not only reputable but charges a reasonable price. The amount of money that they charge may not always be reflective of the quality of work that they will accomplish, which is why you need to make sure that they have been in business for many years, that others have use them, and that they produce results.

Get Your Prepurchase Pest Inspection Done ASAP

Your final choice is going to lead you to a company that will give you the best information about what is really going on with the pest situation at the home that you want to buy. They can recommend treatments, show proof that these pests are in your home, forcing the seller to get this resolved before you buy as narrated by building inspections gold coast. The faster that you are able to do this, the more likely it is that you will be able to move in as soon as possible, preventing further damage from occurring. This is especially true with termites, but any type of pest can be a problem, which is why the inspection must be done and the pests must be removed before you buy the home.
