Why Advanced Detection Matters
Termites may be small, but they can do a massive amount of damage to timber in a relatively short period of time. Unfortunately, their expert hiding ability means they are often not found until much of the damage has already occurred.
Real-Time Technology Analysis
Using Termatrac radar and thermal imaging, we analyse moisture anomalies and movement patterns live on-site. This allows us to accurately gauge the severity of any active infestation.

Two Australian Standards, also written as AS4349.1 and AS4349.3, govern the inspections we carry out. AS 4349.1 to 2007 covers the inspection of buildings, part 1, pre purchase inspections of residential buildings, and applies to the structural side of a building inspection. AS 4349.3 to 2010 covers the inspection of buildings, part 3, timber pest inspections, and applies specifically to termites, borers and fungal decay.
Every timber pest inspection we carry out is conducted in accordance with AS 4349.3, which sets the minimum level of access, the areas that must be checked, and how findings are to be reported, so our inspection report AS4349.3 gives you a consistent, independently benchmarked assessment rather than a general visual check.
Our inspectors are registered and accredited to carry out AS4349.3 compliant pest inspections and AS4349.1 compliant building inspections, whether booked separately or combined. Combined with our Termatrac detection technology, choosing a timber pest inspector AS4349.3 compliant Melbourne wide means your report is held to the same benchmark regardless of which inspector you speak with.
If you are researching what an AS4349.1 checklist or AS4349.3 checklist actually covers before booking, our team is happy to talk you through what our accredited, registered inspectors check at each stage.
