Termite Inspections carried out with a Thermal Camera

All our Termite inspectors carry a thermal camera as part of our inspection process. Thermal cameras are tools we use to assist us in inspecting the differentiation of temperatures within the property as Termites build nests in homes and generate heat within their workings. In addition, when large amounts of live termites are present, the camera assists in finding them.  

A thermal camera alone will not find termites in all situations; it's a combination of using all the available tools and the inspector's experience that provides our customers with an advantage when engaging TPC. As a result, we have saved thousands of property owners by finding Termites early. 

 

The Termite inspection process that saves homeowners 

Our licensed Termite inspectors will inspect for live Termites, Termite Damage, and workings. Did you know, that we also check and comment on situations that attract termites;

• Wood Rot (Wood Decay Fungi)
• Water leaks, water damage
• Drainage issues,
• High moisture & Ventilation, along with an extensive list of other conducive conditions that attract termites
• We have saved homeowners a fortune in repairing damaged timber and walls by locating leaks behind showers before the problem becomes a significant issue.

 

We test for High moisture that attracts Termites

The Moisture meter device detects moisture. Termites need water like us to survive. We test for moisture during the inspection process, mainly concentrating on high-risk areas like behind shower recesses or where high levels of soil or where drainage is a concern externally that may attract termites closer to the home. 

 

When high moisture, water damage, or a leak is detected, the inspector will use a thermal camera to help assess the area of concern; from here, we may recommend a Builder or carry out an invasive inspection.
