The practical answer
Contact the provider responsible for the system if a station is disturbed, buried or damaged. Do not open it, add material or relocate it yourself. Explain what happened and whether landscaping, mowing or building work affected the surrounding area.
The system needs its own servicing history
A station’s condition and location may affect how monitoring is interpreted. The provider needs the system details and previous service records to advise the next step. Do not assume another operator’s general treatment includes taking responsibility for an existing system.
What to do before the visit
- Keep people and equipment clear of the damaged point.
- Provide a safe photograph of the wider location.
- Retain the system documents and servicing contact.
Questions that define the work
- Does the station need an inspection or replacement?
- How will the disturbance be recorded?
- Do planned landscaping changes affect future access or servicing?
What happens next?
Ask for the completed service record and any revised maintenance instructions. Do not interpret a repaired lid as proof that termite activity has been assessed. Keep ongoing inspection and servicing arrangements explicit after changes to the property.
