FAQ

Building and Pest Inspections in Clyde North: common questions

Do new Clyde North homes really need a pest inspection?

A recent build has termite management installed, but it only works if nothing bridges it. Garden beds, paving and mulch piled against the walls are common on young homes and are exactly what lets termites past.

What is not included in our Clyde North building and pest report?

Treatment of any kind, a guarantee that the house is pest free, areas we cannot safely reach, and everything AS 4349.1 excludes, such as electrical, gas and plumbing operation, appliances and concealed framing.

What should a meter box termite notice tell me?

A durable notice, usually in the meter box, recording the termite system installed and when. If it is missing we say so, because without it you cannot tell what protection the house has.

If termites turn up, will your inspector treat them?

No. We inspect and report. If live termites or damage are found, a licensed pest manager quotes and treats, and the report gives them a starting point.

Is Clyde North a termite area?

Termites are active across Melbourne's south-east. Whether your lot sits in a designated termite risk area is shown on the property information from the City of Casey, and your conveyancer can obtain it.

Why combine the two inspections?

Because the same conditions cause both problems. Poor drainage that cracks a slab edge also feeds termites, so one inspector seeing both gives a more useful report.
