Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect slab edges, weepholes, perimeter joints, plumbing penetrations and wall base areas for mud leads, shelter tubes and bridging that can allow termites to bypass visual barriers and enter unseen.
If the home has a subfloor, we check stumps, bearers, joists and ventilation for termite workings and decay. Poor airflow and stored items under the house can raise humidity and create ideal feeding conditions.
We use moisture detection to identify dampness around bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and external walls. Moisture is a key driver for termite foraging and timber rot, and it often points to leaks that need fixing.
We check structural and accessible timber elements for exit holes, frass (powdery dust), soft or honeycombed timber and damage patterns consistent with borers—often found in older timber joinery, roof timbers and sheds.
We inspect fences, pergolas, decks, sleepers, retaining timbers and stored firewood. Timber in contact with soil or kept damp can become a starting point for termites before they move into the house.
We assess accessible roof space timbers, garage framing and outbuildings for pest damage and moisture staining. These areas are commonly overlooked but can show early signs of activity or long-term timber deterioration.

Yes. Dense landscaping, irrigation and shaded side access can keep soil and lower walls damp, which encourages termite foraging. In Bayswater North we often see risk increase where garden beds are built up against walls, where sleepers touch soil, or where drainage directs water toward the house. An inspection focuses on these moisture-prone zones and likely entry points.
We inspect accessible internal rooms, wet areas, skirtings and wall bases, plus external perimeters, slab edges, fences and exposed timber. Where access allows, we also check subfloors and roof voids. The goal is to identify active termite activity, signs of past workings, timber borer indicators, and the moisture conditions that make an infestation more likely.
Often, yes. Termites commonly feed inside timber and travel through concealed areas, so obvious damage can be a late sign. We look for subtle indicators such as mudding, changes in moisture levels, bridging over slab edges, and hollow-sounding or weakened timber. While no inspection can see through every surface, a thorough assessment can uncover early clues and risk factors.
They can. Older homes may have more accessible timber framing, subfloors and extensions where ventilation is reduced or timber has been exposed to long-term dampness. Renovations can also create concealed junctions where termites enter unnoticed. Newer homes still face risk, particularly if there are landscaping bridges or moisture issues, but the inspection approach is tailored to the building’s construction and access.
For most properties, an annual inspection is a sensible baseline because termite activity and moisture conditions can change season to season. If your Bayswater North home has high-risk factors—such as a subfloor with limited ventilation, frequent watering near walls, timber-to-ground contact, or a history of termites—more frequent checks may be recommended. We’ll advise based on what we observe onsite.
