Termite Inspection Brimbank

Brimbank's inner edge at Sunshine mixes interwar homes near the station, post-war brick veneer across most streets and new apartments on former industrial land. Reactive basalt clay, large yards full of sheds and sleepers, and Kororoit Creek's reserves set the termite risk profile.

Brimbank homes around Sunshine sit on basalt clay that cracks in dry weather and swells when wet, which stresses stumps, slabs and brickwork and creates the small gaps termites use. Most houses are post-war brick veneer with timber floor frames, alongside interwar homes with low subfloors near the station. Inspections here start in the yard, because large blocks hold sheds, fences and sleepers where activity usually begins, then move to the weepholes, the paving level against the brick and the subfloor or slab edge.
