A termite inspection in Frankston starts with a phone call. We ask what you have noticed, whether that is mud tubes along a fence, discarded wings on a windowsill or timber that sounds different when tapped, then match the job to a local crew who can come and have a look.
On the day, the crew works through the areas termites tend to use. That usually means the subfloor, roof void, skirting boards, door frames and any timber sitting close to the ground outside, including retaining walls, garden beds and old stumps. They are looking for mud tubes, damaged or hollow timber, live termites and any other signs of activity around your Frankston home. The crew also takes a look at ventilation, drainage and any obvious moisture nearby, since damp conditions are one of the things that draw termites toward a home in the first place.
Once the inspection is finished, the crew talks you through what they found in plain language, including photos where it helps, and sets out the options if activity is present. That might mean termite treatment, a termite barrier or ongoing termite monitoring, depending on the layout of the home and where the activity is. Every option comes with a price before any work starts, so there are no surprises. If no activity is found on the day, the crew still leaves you with a written record of the inspection, useful to keep on file for later.
