Termite & Timber Pest Inspection Camberwell

Yes. Renovations can leave concealed junctions between old and new work, and termites often enter from the perimeter or subfloor regardless of how modern the kitchen or bathroom looks. In Camberwell, older weatherboards and extensions can also create different moisture and ventilation conditions across the home. An inspection checks accessible timbers, risk points and moisture sources so you know what’s happening behind finishes.

We look for subterranean termite activity and evidence, plus other timber pests such as wood borers, and signs of timber decay where moisture has been present. The inspection focuses on accessible areas of the home and external timber structures, as well as conditions that increase risk like damp subfloors, poor drainage and garden-to-wall contact.

Time varies based on the home’s size, access to subfloor and roof void, and the amount of external timber and landscaping. A single-level home with good access is typically quicker than a multi-level property with limited access points and extensive decking. We’ll let you know what we can and can’t access on the day, and how that affects findings.

They can. Built-up garden beds against walls, dense planting, mulch and leaf litter can hold moisture and conceal termite workings along the perimeter. Tree stumps and old timber sleepers can also provide food sources and harbour activity. During a Camberwell inspection we assess these perimeter conditions and explain practical changes that reduce concealed entry opportunities and moisture around the structure.

Not automatically. Termite damage can range from minor to significant, and safety depends on where the damage is and whether there’s active infestation. We identify the accessible evidence, note likely extent indicators, and recommend next steps such as treatment by a pest manager and further investigation by a builder if structural timbers are affected. This helps you prioritise the right actions quickly.
