Termite risk for homeowners in Wollert, Victoria
How termite risk works in Wollert, what conditions around a house attract them, and what an AS 4349.3 timber pest inspection can and cannot tell you.
A combined building and pest inspection pairs the AS 4349.1 building report with a timber pest inspection to AS 4349.3, in one visit. Wollert buyers book it before auction or before signing.
The building component follows AS 4349.1 and the timber pest component follows AS 4349.3, both visual, non invasive inspections of accessible areas. Findings are considered against the NCC and ABCB Housing Provisions, AS 3660 termite practice and the Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2015.
36 checkpoints across 9 areas on a standard Wollert building and pest inspection. Anything we could not safely reach on the day is written up as a limitation rather than passed over.

The building part reports the visible condition of the structure under AS 4349.1. The pest part looks for evidence of termites, borers and wood decay under AS 4349.3, in the same visit.
No. AS 4349.3 is an inspect and report service. It records evidence of timber pest activity, damage and conditions conducive to attack that were visible on the day, and nothing more.
Booking both together costs less than two separate inspections. Send the address and we will quote a fixed fee covering the site visit and the combined written report.
Allow two to three hours on site for a typical Wollert home, longer for a large double storey. The combined report is emailed within 24 hours, and sooner if an auction is close.
Both parts are visual and non invasive. We do not cut open walls, move stored goods, or test electrical, gas or appliances, which a licensed electrician does. We do not treat termites or certify a home pest free.
Yes. The termite risk comes from the environment around the house, not its age. Garden beds against the slab, retained timbers, poor drainage and leaking taps all raise the risk here.
We look for the durable notice and check what is visible of the system at the slab perimeter and inspection zone. Whether it is installed correctly throughout cannot be seen without opening up.
We record what was seen, where, and the conditions supporting it, then recommend a licensed pest manager for treatment advice. We do not treat, so there is no conflict in the finding.
The report says so and names the limitation. Timber pests often work in concealed spaces, so an area we could not enter is stated plainly rather than glossed over as clear.
Yes. We work under Building and Plumbing Commission registration CDB-U 53425, formerly the VBA, and hold current insurance covering both the building and timber pest inspections.
