Timber Pest Inspections
Why Are Timber Pest Inspections Important?
Queensland’s warm, humid climate creates an ideal environment for timber pests like termites and fungal wood decay to thrive, potentially leading to severe structural damage. Identifying any timber pest-related issues early can save you from costly repairs when purchasing a property. Just as a building inspection assesses a property’s structural integrity, a timber pest inspection is crucial for uncovering hidden risks that could influence your investment decision.
