Building Inspection Brighton
A recent Pre-Purchase building and Pest inspection carried out by HomeMasters in Brighton, Adelaide has revealed something nasty underneath the timber floors in the living room.
There was mudding discovered by our building inspector and upon further investigation, active termites were found eating away at the flooring joists and floorboards. The home had a treatment in place but due to a nearby downpipe splashing water against the wall, the termite treatment was ineffective. It was also noted that an air conditioner was dripping water against the wall. The excessive moisture ultimately attracted the termites. These types of issues unfortunately can void a termite treatment leaving the homeowner at a loss, this is one reason why annual inspections for termites are always highly recommended.
