FACT; termites have done more damage than FIRE, FLOOD, CYCLONES and WAR COMBINED in Australia.
Well you can be sure by having your house inspected by a Dan Purkis
technician that you won’t be the neighbour who had to rebuild part of their house from termite damage. For proper termite management, our technicians will inspect the interior, exterior, roof void, sub floor, fences, gardens, sheds and everywhere in between. In termite management Gold Coast & Tweed Heads, we use a combination of old school methods with the latest in Thermal imaging technology to detect termites in your home.
Australian standards are to have your house inspected by a professional every 12 months. An inspection doesn’t stop termites getting in but by detecting them early you will minimise the damage they can do in that time period. For example if termites enter your house 6 months after the inspection they may eat a the window frame of one room, if you don’t find this damage yourself and don’t get your house inspected for say 2 more years the damage could by catastrophic by comparison you may be rebuilding part of your house.
Recently a house I have been inspecting annually for a few years showed signs of termites during a routine inspection. The house was a rental so the tenant wasn’t concerned about the damage to the door he just thought it was rot and didn’t inform the Property manager. Fortunately for the owner the property manager was quite diligent with their annual inspections and the termites were exterminated before any major damage done was had they left it for 2 or 3 years they would have had to rebuild the garage.
