Braybrook homes often mix older timber elements with newer extensions, plus moisture-prone zones around gardens, subfloors and fences—ideal conditions for termites and timber pests to stay hidden.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect accessible perimeter and interior areas where termites commonly travel unseen, including weep holes, slab edges, expansion joints, service penetrations, window and door frames, and any timber-to-ground contact. This matters in Braybrook where renovations and landscaping can unintentionally create concealed pathways and moisture pockets.
We check for moisture conditions that attract termites and support timber decay, focusing on bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, hot water units, air-conditioning overflow points and external taps. Excess moisture is a key driver of termite activity, even when there’s no visible damage yet.
For homes with raised floors, we assess subfloor ventilation, dampness, stumps/bearers/joists, and signs of termite workings or fungal decay. In Braybrook, subfloor moisture and restricted access can hide active issues, so we note limitations and recommend follow-up access improvements if needed.
We examine decks, pergolas, verandahs, fences, gates, retaining sleepers and timber landscaping that may connect pests to the house. These structures are frequently affected first and can provide a quiet entry route into wall framing and roof timbers.
We look for evidence consistent with timber borers and other wood-damaging pests, including pin-holes, frass (powder), weakened timbers and surface blistering. Correct identification helps you plan the right treatment and avoid spending money on the wrong solution.
Your report highlights active findings, areas of concern and Braybrook-relevant risk factors such as moisture sources, blocked weep holes, or timber in contact with soil. We include photos and prioritised recommendations so you can act quickly—whether that’s repairs, treatment, or improved drainage and ventilation.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
A pest inspection in Braybrook focuses on termite detection, timber pest activity and conditions that make an infestation more likely. We inspect accessible areas inside and outside the building, including roof voids, subfloors (where present), wet areas and external timber structures like fences and decks. You’ll receive a written report noting evidence, damage, moisture concerns and recommended next steps.
Yes. Renovations can hide older timbers behind new plaster, cabinetry and flooring, and new landscaping can raise soil levels or cover weep holes. Termites don’t need much space to enter, especially where moisture is present. Our inspection looks for concealed entry points, bridging from decks or fences, and any signs of activity or past damage that may be masked by recent cosmetic work.
We inspect accessible external timber structures because they’re common starting points for termites and can provide a direct route into the home. In Braybrook, boundary fences and timber landscaping are often close to the house and gardens are frequently watered, creating favourable conditions. We’ll note any timber-to-ground contact, decay and likely pathways, and advise what repairs or separation will reduce risk.
Yes. Slab homes can still be susceptible because termites can enter through slab edges, cracks, joints and service penetrations, then travel inside wall cavities. We check slab perimeters, weep holes, expansion joints and plumbing entry points, plus wet areas that can create moisture. If access is restricted by paving or garden beds, we document limitations and recommend practical improvements.
