Step 1 – We Listen First
Every Termite Damage Situation is Unique
Getting termite damage repaired starts here. This first step is about listening first and understand all your concerns, discoveries of termite activity and/or areas of termite damage.
The more information you provide and we gain about what has been observed, prior termite treatments, reports relating to your termite damage concerns, the better able we are to focus subsequent investigations, accurately diagnose your unique termite damage and provide the best repair solution/s. This includes assessing if any urgent make-safe works are needed, or urgency level due to house sale/purchase activities.
Step 2 – Termite Damage Inspection
Visual and Intrusive Inspections for Effective Diagnosis
To ensure your peace of mind and to provide a comprehensive, professional termite repair service, we thoroughly investigate your specific termite damage situation. This can involve two-stages of inspections. Firstly, a visual inspection and, potentially, a subsequent Intrusive Inspection.
We want to keep unexpected discoveries at zero, so we provide a highly transparent service because our skill and experience has shown where assumptions about damage through incomplete inspection methods are made (eg reliance on photographs or a camera inserted in just one section of a wall) – it is incomplete information on which to base the termite damage diagnosis and thus repair needs.
Termites hide their handiwork very well. We aim to discover it all so that you can be confident in the repair works you approve.
Step 3 – Quoting and Scope of Works

Scheduling and Implementing Termite Repairs
Once the termite damage repairs works are approved to proceed, the actual repairs can start. We schedule our repair teams and any specialist trades to implement all agreed repair works. You are advised on start dates and relevant information so you understand what will happen by who, when.
During termite repair works, there is a small risk that additional damage, or even live termites, can be discovered. This can potentially lead to involvement of additional termite treatments, changes in repair works or delays to completing repair works. However, our transparent approach ensures your peace of mind and getting the best termite repair outcome is front and centre.
Step 5 – Termite Repairs Finishing

This is also the stage where we engage structural engineering certification – if required, collect any final payments, and provide any final documentation associated with the finished repair works. We invite your independent feedback through a short survey or google review so we can help educate others and continuously improve our service.
