Termite infestations, structural issues, mould growth and timber rot are some of the most common issues our inspectors find in Queensland homes.

Termites

Queensland is one of the highest risk areas for termites in Australia due to the warm, subtropical climate and high humidity that create ideal termite conditions. Our inspectors often find termites in roof voids, subfloors and walls, as well as termite nests in gardens.

Structural issues

Structural challenges are also common in Queensland. The hot, humid climate can cause timber to warp or crack, while clay soils found in some regions can shift foundations, resulting in wall cracks and uneven floors.

Moisture

Queensland’s high humidity can lead to mould growth and timber rot in skirting boards, flooring and roof spaces. Wet areas such as bathrooms are hot spots for waterproofing failures, while overgrown gardens can trap moisture, create ideal termite conditions and damage fences and underground pipes. Heavy rain and hot sun can also lead to roof and gutter damage, leaks and water entering roof spaces.

We service south-east Queensland, from Gold Coast to Gympie. Even if you can’t see your area in the list above, call us or request a quote online and our friendly team will let you know whether we can service your property.
