Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check likely termite access points such as weep holes, slab edges, service penetrations, step-downs, expansion joints and adjoining structures. This matters in Cremorne where tight boundaries and extensions can create hidden pathways from soil to timber.
We inspect bearers, joists, stumps, flooring timbers and ventilation conditions for termite workings, borer damage and fungal decay. Poor airflow and dampness can accelerate timber deterioration and make termite activity harder to detect until damage is advanced.
We look for signs of timber pests and moisture-related damage in roof spaces and upper framing, including staining, leaking penetrations and damaged timbers. In renovated Cremorne homes, new services and penetrations can introduce water entry that attracts pests.
We identify areas that commonly hold moisture such as bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, balconies, around hot water units, and external taps. Elevated moisture supports termite survival and can also lead to timber rot that gets mistaken for “old age”.
We inspect timber decks, pergolas, fences, retaining timbers, garden sleepers and stored timber for activity and decay, plus check for timber-to-ground contact. Courtyards and small gardens in Cremorne can unintentionally create a bridge from soil to the building.
Your report separates active evidence from risk conditions, documents affected areas, and lists practical actions such as improving drainage, removing timber contact points, or seeking treatment advice. This helps you plan repairs and negotiate confidently if you’re buying in Cremorne.

Yes. Renovations can conceal termite entry points and timber damage behind new linings, cabinetry and finishes. In Cremorne, it’s also common to have decks, courtyard sleepers, and altered drainage that changes moisture levels around the building. A pest inspection checks accessible subfloors, roof spaces, and perimeter details to identify activity and the conditions that make future infestation more likely.
We focus on termites and timber pests because they cause structural damage, but we also look for signs of other pest activity where relevant. The inspection covers evidence such as mud leads, workings, damaged or hollow-sounding timber, borer holes, and moisture-related decay that can attract pests. Findings are documented with clear notes on what’s urgent and what’s preventative.
Time depends on the property type and access. A small apartment may be quicker, while a multi-level home with a subfloor, roof void, garage and outdoor structures takes longer. We work through internal rooms, accessible roof space, subfloor (if safe and accessible), and the external perimeter. You’ll receive a detailed report outlining evidence found and risk areas.
They can be. Timber sleepers, garden edging, retaining timbers and boundary fences can provide food sources and concealed pathways close to the building, particularly when timber is in contact with soil. In tightly spaced Cremorne blocks, it’s easy for landscaping or storage to sit against walls and hide slab edges and weep holes. An inspection checks these areas and flags what should be altered.
We document the evidence and the likely contributing conditions, then outline practical next steps. That may include removing timber-to-ground contact, improving drainage or ventilation, and seeking advice from a licensed pest manager about treatment options. If you’re buying, the report helps you quantify the risk and discuss repairs or treatment allowances with the vendor before settlement.
