Why Annual Termite Inspections Matter in Newcastle
Newcastle's coastal climate supports year-round termite activity. Here's why annual inspections are the minimum for protecting your home.
Termites cause more structural damage to Australian homes than fire and flood combined — and most home insurance doesn't cover it. In Newcastle, our warm, humid coastal climate supports high termite activity year-round.
The Australian Standard
AS 3660.2 recommends termite inspections at least every 12 months, and every 3–6 months for high-risk properties.
What Makes a Property High-Risk?
- Proximity to bushland
- Subfloor construction
- Timber retaining walls
- Poor ventilation
- A history of termite activity
What an Inspection Covers
