Dunno if I mentioned this one...

3 years ago I bought a house in Toormina (Coffs Harbour). It was only 3 years old.

Last July I was informed it now had termite damage which had been picked up during the annual inspection - the termites were seen in the roof cavity. The house was protected by a termite control system but owing to a faulty concrete pour and the perimeter termite protection system not going far enough out past the concrete, the termites had found a way in.

Luckily I had maintained the 3-yearly recharge of the system and the annual inspections. I'm still negotiating with the builder over the repairs as the house is still under warranty (just).

Fortunately, the damage appears to have been limited to only two walls. A lot of the timber in one wall will need replacement.
