More Technical information

Masonry Core Filled Blockwork 

Termites will forage through masonry core filled block walls.

Masonry Core filled block walls must be protected and cannot be relied upon as a method of Termite Management, unless the entire wall is available for visual inspections, which is rarely ever achieved.

Where cost is an issue for builders and homeowners, there are options to minimise a full wall treatments, however only under the expert opinion of a Termite Management technician should any builder or owner  attempt to build without the understanding of the requirements under the Australian Standards (AS3660.1:2014 Termite management, Part 1: New building work) and the National Construction Code.

The photos below detail compliant barriers installed to the masonry back filled block walls. Need assistance call 1300552234.

Termite Management, Visual Inspection Zones 75mm Exposed Concrete Slab Edge

Termite Management AS3660.1- 2014 Visual exposed slab edge - This photo perfectly demonstrates an effective uninterrupted exposed slab edge that is 75mm above the ground that allows ongoing visual inspections.  

 

Termite-Management
A non compliant 75mm Slab edge 

The photo here demonstrates a non compliant slab edge that has been covered. 

If you have an exposed 75mm concrete slab edge on your home or commercial building and wish to cover the slab edge with concrete, soil or any other material you must contact the termite management installer to apply further advice on how this can be achieved. Additional products are available and must be installed by a licensed Termite Installer that will provide the certificate of Installation and a form 16 on completion. 

 

Termite-Inspection
Visual Termite Inspection Zones On Perimeter Physical Barrier Installations

The Physical Termite barrier installed within the building perimeter of most new homes and buildings require a visual Inspection zone. The Inspection zone is normally where the barrier protrudes through the brick work of the exterior wall. 

In some cases where houses are rendered and inspection zone is covered, the renderer will install a V- Joint Cut at the same level as the barrier, this then becomes the Visual Inspection Zone. 

Be mindful of attachments The Physical Termite barrier inspection zone must remain exposed at all times. Materials like gate posts, fences, paths, pavers and water tanks must be exposed off the wall by at least 25mm.

TERMITE ENTRY POINT!

Termite Entry

If we see a Termite lead on the external wall of a house, then the physical barrier is successful. If we see no visual entry points and live termites inside the property, we are asking questions.

This photo provides evidence of a termite lead (Mud lead/termite track) on the exterior brick wall, it also shows the termite physical barrier inspection zone where Termites are tracking over the barrier. In this situation we can complete a full Termite Inspection on the building to ensure there are no live termites internally first, then provide a Treatment plan to treat the live termites.

Remembering Physical Termite Barrier installations are designed to protect the concealed entry by termites. they will not stop termites tracking up the outside of the walls.  

When an entry point is found - a) the physical barrier has been successful and prevented the concealed entry by termites b) The live termites can be treated by one of our licensed technicians c) If we are all lucky and the entry point is found early the homeowner may avoid a large Termite damage repair bill.

It is very important to advise home owners of their obligations to ensure the visual Physical Barrier Inspection Zone is not covered by paths, Decks, Soil, Gardens, pebbles, rocks, Mulch and Fence posts, landscaping and Trees, just to name a few.

Not all homes have physical barriers like Termseal, Termimesh, Home guard, Kordon, Trithor. If the home was built prior to 2002 in Queensland it likely has a chemical barrier/treated zone which is likely to be redundant and  a new Termite Chemical barrier is due.

Timber Posts Installed Above Ground On Steel Stirrups also comply as a Visual Termite Barrier AS3660.1-2014

The gate house on this property is similar to any timber post installed on a decking, pergola, patio where the isolated timber post is installed directly onto a steel stirrup,  allowing an uninterrupted  clearance to inspect for termites.
