The potential for termite infestation is a very real threat to building structures across Queensland, with one in four homes having termites on the property, it is essential to have a pre-purchase termite inspection undertaken before you commit to purchasing your new property. BPI Gold Coast North are experts in building and pest inspections and have a wealth of knowledge and experience in inspecting properties.
The destruction caused by termites is not always visible to the naked eye; as they like to live in dark, damp spaces, their true extent of the damage is usually hidden beneath the surface. While the ceiling or floor in a property may appear strong, termites could have consumed the cellulose in the boards and beams, rendering the surface weak and unsafe and in need of replacement.
