Termite damage in the roof can quietly steal structural strength.
π A recent pre-purchase inspection found significant termite damage to roof truss members in the upper roof space. Timber had been consumed so heavily that the cross-section of the affected members was substantially reduced, cutting their ability to carry design loads.
π From below, the rooms can look fine. Inside the roof void, hollowed and splintered framing tells a different story, and that is a major structural defect that needs proper assessment and repair before anyone settles.
Across Perth and the South West, our inspectors have completed 50,000+ inspections so buyers can weigh findings like this with clear photos and plain language.
