Termite inspections
The biggest recommendation Sound Building Inspections can give is to start or continue with annual termite inspections.
Annual inspections are recommended in the Australian Standards.
To put things in perspective:
- 1 in 60 homes have been flooded
- 1 in 12 homes have had a fire
- 1 in 3 homes have a history of termites
These statistics mean:
- Your home is 20 times more likely to get termites than be flooded
- Your home is 4 times more likely to have termites than catch fire
You protect your home against other risks every year, often costing thousands of dollars. An annual termite inspection costs hundreds and can give you peace of mind.
The good news is, where there is a problem, Sound Building Inspections is the solution.
All termite inspections include FLIR Thermal Imaging, Termatrac T3i radar and digital photographic reports.
All termite work is carried out to Australian Standards by licensed and insured Timber Pest Technicians.

Termite control & treatments
There are strict rules around termite control and treatments.
For example, if your property has active termites, a termite inspection must be completed before any rectification work begins. This ensures that the entire home is checked for areas of concern so that a thorough treatment can be provided.
Termite management has evolved very quickly, and the chemicals and management systems used in today’s market are safe and effective. In fact, many of the systems available may also allow you to obtain insurance against termites.
