Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect accessible perimeter zones for concealed termite pathways, including where soil meets brickwork, weep holes, cracks, and areas where garden beds or paving sit high against walls. These are common places termites use to enter without being seen.
Where access allows, we check subfloor spaces, bearers, joists and other structural timbers for termite damage, borer pinholes and fungal decay. Poor airflow and dampness in these areas can accelerate timber deterioration and hide active pests.
We look for moisture conditions that support termite activity, including bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, hot water service areas and external taps. Elevated moisture doesn’t confirm termites, but it increases risk and helps explain why activity may be present.
Burwood East homes often have outdoor structures and sleeper retaining edges. We check accessible posts, ledger points, fence lines and timber-to-ground contact for softening, hollowing, mudding and other signs consistent with termite or decay damage.
Not all timber damage is active. We assess the characteristics of damage and visible signs (such as workings and fresh disturbance) to help distinguish historical issues from potential current activity, so you can prioritise repairs or treatments correctly.
Your report documents evidence found, areas inspected, limitations (such as restricted access), and the property-specific conditions that increase risk—like high garden beds, moisture hotspots or timber in contact with soil—plus recommended next steps.

Yes. Brick veneer construction can still have plenty of timber inside the walls, roof and subfloor. Termites can enter through concealed pathways such as cracks, weepholes blocked by garden beds, and areas where paving or soil levels sit high. A pest inspection checks for both evidence of activity and the conditions around your Burwood East property that make entry more likely.
We inspect accessible internal and external areas, focusing on termite and timber pest indicators, moisture-prone zones, and exposed or structural timbers where visible. This typically includes the building perimeter, wet areas, roof void or subfloor where access is available, plus outdoor structures like decks and fences. We also note conditions that increase risk, such as timber-to-ground contact and poor drainage.
Yes. Termite and timber pest risk doesn’t stop at a fence line. For townhouses and units, we inspect accessible areas within your lot and look for contributing factors such as shared fencing, adjacent garden beds, and limited side access. If adjoining structures restrict access, we document those limitations and explain what additional checks or strata coordination may be sensible.
They are important to inspect because outdoor timbers are commonly close to damp soil and irrigation. We assess accessible decking timbers, posts, pergola connections, fences and landscaping sleepers for signs of termite workings, borer activity, softening and decay. These structures can be the first place termites establish before moving into the home, so checking them helps manage risk early.
