Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We examine the external perimeter for concealed entry points, including weep holes, cracks, construction joints, and areas where soil or paving bridges the slab edge. This matters in Clyde North where neat landscaping and paths can unintentionally create hidden termite access.
We identify moisture-prone areas such as bathrooms, laundries, hot water unit locations, downpipe discharge points, and air conditioner overflows. Termites are attracted to damp conditions, and persistent moisture can also support fungal decay in timbers.
Outdoor timber elements are checked for signs of termite workings, borer holes, softening, decay and poor clearances to soil. In many Clyde North homes, outdoor living spaces are heavily used and often include timber posts or framing that can be vulnerable.
We check timber fences, sleeper-style edging and any timber in ground contact or close to damp soil. These can act as a “stepping stone” for termite activity moving through the yard and towards the house.
We assess accessible internal timbers for mud leads, blistered paint, hollow-sounding timber, borer exit holes and other indicators of concealed activity. This helps detect problems that may not show up as visible damage until repairs become extensive.
Where safe and accessible, we check roof void timbers and other void spaces for borer activity, moisture staining and decay that can compromise structural timbers. Early detection can prevent the need for larger timber replacement works.

Yes. Newer builds can still be exposed to termites and timber pests, especially if landscaping, paving or garden beds bridge slab edges and reduce visibility of weep holes. Construction stage timber offcuts, damp soil against walls, and moisture around services can also create conditions termites like. An inspection checks for current activity and the risk factors that can lead to future infestations.
We inspect accessible internal areas, key external perimeter zones, and timber features such as decks, pergolas, fences and sleeper-style garden timbers. Where safe, we also check roof voids and any accessible subfloor or under-house areas. We look for termite evidence, borer activity, timber decay, and moisture issues that commonly contribute to timber pest problems.
Often, yes. Termites can travel inside walls, behind linings or through concealed entry points without obvious surface damage. We look for subtle indicators like mudding, changes to timber soundness, moisture patterns, and conditions that support concealed activity. If access is restricted, we note limitations clearly and advise practical next steps to reduce risk.
Tight side passages can limit visibility along the perimeter, and dense landscaping can hide slab edges, cracks and other entry points. Garden beds, mulch and paving that sit too high can bridge termite management zones and make weep holes harder to see. During the inspection, we focus on these concealed transitions and explain any clearance changes that can reduce risk.
Yes. A pre-purchase termite and timber pest inspection helps you understand whether you’re buying a property with active issues, previous damage, or conditions that make infestation more likely. That information can affect your decision, your budget for repairs or treatment, and your negotiation position. We provide clear findings and practical recommendations so you can plan confidently.
