Houses here vary enormously, from compact units through to large nineteenth century homes on big blocks, so the quote follows the property. Phone 1300 545 489, tell us about the house and its age, and what we quote is what you pay. The quote costs nothing. If it is an older home with a subfloor, mention that, since it makes for a more thorough job.

Yes, and non-destructive inspection is exactly what our equipment is for. A moisture meter and thermal camera let us read wall cavities and timber without cutting into anything, which matters a great deal on a house with original fabric worth preserving. Any treatment recommendation we make will account for the building’s heritage value rather than defaulting to what you would do on a modern brick veneer. Tell us on the call and we will plan the visit accordingly.

Several reasons at once. They contain far more structural timber than a modern house, they generally predate any form of termite management system, and they sit in gardens that have had a century to mature, which means established trees, old stumps and accumulated timber within easy foraging range. The compensation is that a high-set home with an accessible subfloor is much easier to inspect properly than a slab, so problems can be caught early if somebody actually looks.

Every twelve months without stretching it, and we would say that more firmly here than in most suburbs. The QBCC recommends yearly inspection by a licensed pest controller in high hazard areas and CSIRO national termite survey scores this region high hazard. On an old timber house the difference between catching activity at twelve months and at three years can be structural. Book a termite inspection and we will hold the reminder.

The suburb sits on the Limestone Hill ridge above the Ipswich CBD, which is the entire reason for the name, and we found no documented flood history for it. That makes it one of the lower flood exposure suburbs in Ipswich, unlike North Ipswich down in the Bremer bend. For a property-specific answer Ipswich City Council’s mapping is the place to check rather than relying on a general statement.

Typically same day or the next, weekends included, and sitting just east of the CBD makes it an easy suburb for us to reach. Call 1300 545 489 and say if something is urgent, and it moves up the schedule.

Twelve months on every general pest treatment, with free re-treatment of any pest named on your certificate that comes back inside that period. Termite work and rodent baiting are quoted and warranted separately. Our terms and conditions set out the detail in full.
