Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We look for mud leads, shelter tubes, damaged timbers, and termite workings around the external perimeter, subfloor supports, and entry points where services penetrate walls. These are common paths for concealed termite travel and can indicate active risk even when damage isn’t obvious indoors.
We assess moisture-prone locations such as bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and around hot water units using moisture detection methods to identify damp conditions. Elevated moisture can attract termites and can also support other timber pest activity, so we flag likely sources such as leaks, poor ventilation, or drainage problems.
We check accessible timbers for hollowing, blistering, soft spots, and other indicators of feeding or decay. Bayswater homes with timber floors and older framing can hide damage under floor coverings, so we focus on edges, joinery and high-risk junctions where pests commonly start.
Where safe access is available, we inspect roof spaces for signs of timber pest activity and conditions that increase risk, such as condensation, water staining, or stored timber. Termites can move up through wall cavities, so roof void checks can help confirm whether activity is limited or widespread.
We assess conditions that increase termite risk, including garden beds against walls, timber retaining edges, pergola posts, fencing contact points, tree stumps, and stored firewood. These factors are common around established Bayswater blocks and can provide hidden bridging that bypasses barriers.
You receive a detailed report outlining evidence found, suspected activity, moisture concerns, and site conditions that raise the likelihood of attack. We prioritise actions—such as further invasive investigation, treatment recommendations, or repairs to moisture sources—so you can make informed decisions quickly.

Often, yes. Many Bayswater properties include timber flooring and subfloor structures that can be affected if termites gain access and stay hidden. Damp subfloors, limited ventilation, and garden beds or stored timber near the house can increase risk. A pest inspection focuses on entry points, subfloor supports, and moisture conditions to identify evidence early and highlight what needs attention.
The inspection targets termites and timber pests, including signs of timber damage and conditions that support activity. We look for evidence such as mud leads, damaged or hollow timber, and indicators of moisture that attracts pests. We also assess external factors like wood-to-ground contact and landscaping that can contribute to termite pressure around Bayswater homes and businesses.
Time varies with the size, access, and complexity of the property. A standard Bayswater home generally takes around 60–90 minutes to inspect, longer if there’s a large subfloor, multiple extensions, or restricted access that requires careful checking. We’ll focus on the highest-risk zones first, then complete a systematic internal and external inspection.
Yes. Bayswater blocks often have established gardens, timber edging, fences and outdoor structures that sit close to the house. These can hold moisture and create concealed pathways for termites, especially where soil or mulch is built up against walls. During the inspection we assess the yard-to-building interface and note specific changes that can reduce risk without redesigning the whole garden.
If we find evidence suggesting active termites or a high likelihood of concealed activity, we’ll document it clearly in the report and explain the urgency. Depending on what we see, we may recommend a targeted invasive inspection by a termite specialist, treatment options, and steps to reduce contributing factors like moisture or timber contact. We’ll also advise on monitoring so the issue doesn’t go unchecked.
