Subfloors in older Sunbury homes
Ventilation, stored timber and damp under raised floors.
In short: Older homes with timber floors have a subfloor that tells you a lot about pest and damp risk.
Ventilation
Poor airflow keeps the subfloor damp, which raises the risk of termites, borers and decay.
Stored timber
Offcuts and old timber stored underneath attract termites.
Signs of leaks
Staining and damp soil under bathrooms point to past or present leaks.
Access
We enter where it is safe, and list areas we cannot reach.
