I had a pest inspector do a termite inspection and he told me 3 issues I would like an opinion on:
1. Under the house / floor he told me that there was wood rot on the bearer timber (maybe just above the piers). I think it?s on the side of the house that cops the worst of the weather. It?s rotting in a few places. What are the implications of this? Should I be urgently getting this replaced or just leave it and sort it the next time the tenant moves out.
2. He told me that mould is forming under the house on the floor boards. What can be done about this?
3. He recommended a blanket spray of subfloor treatment. I think he said the modus operandi is to dig small trenches around the piers and spray many gallons of termite prevention chemicals. Does anybody have an idea if this kind of treatment is worth paying $550 for?
Any information / opinions are appreciated.
thanks
