Termite Damage? Inspection and Treatment in Newcastle
If you've found termite damage, you need a professional inspection to assess the extent of activity, treat any live termites, and protect your home from further destruction. Termite damage is rarely covered by insurance.
The Problem
Termite damage is often hidden — termites consume timber from the inside out, leaving a thin outer shell. By the time damage is visible, the structural integrity may be compromised. Ongoing activity means ongoing destruction.
Our Solution
We conduct a comprehensive inspection to assess the extent of damage and activity, identify the termite species, and recommend a treatment strategy. We can treat active termites and install protective barriers or monitoring systems to prevent further damage.

FAQ
Termite Damage — your questions answered
How do I know if termite damage is active?+
Active damage may have live termites, fresh mud tubes, or soft, damp timber. Old damage is typically dry and hollow with no live termites. A professional inspection confirms whether activity is current.
Can termite-damaged timber be repaired?+
Yes, but only after active termites are eliminated. We treat the termites first, then recommend a qualified builder for structural repairs. We can provide documentation of treatment for your records.
Will termites come back after treatment?+
Without ongoing protection, yes. We recommend annual termite inspections and a long-term management plan (barrier or monitoring system) to prevent re-infestation. Termite management is ongoing.
