Subfloors are one of the areas termites use most in older Frankston homes, especially where the clearance is low and timber stumps sit close to damp soil. When an inspection finds activity underneath the home, the crew we book sets out a treatment plan suited to the access and layout of that particular subfloor. Ventilation and drainage under the home are also part of what the crew looks at, since a damp, poorly ventilated subfloor tends to suit termites more than a dry one.
Low clearance can make some jobs slower, since the crew may need to work from outside the subfloor edge rather than crawling right through. They will talk you through what access is available at your Frankston property and how that affects the approach, along with a price before any work begins. They will also explain roughly how long the visit is likely to take given the access available, so you can plan around it.
Once the treatment is carried out, the crew explains what was done, which areas were covered and anything worth keeping an eye on, such as damp patches, vents that are blocked or timber sitting on soil rather than a proper footing. Where vents are blocked by garden beds, paving or built-up soil, the crew will point this out clearly, since better airflow under the home tends to suit termites less.
