Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect the external perimeter for termite access points and bridging issues such as soil contact, high garden beds, and concealed weep holes. This matters in Cremorne where compact lots and hardscaping can hide termite pathways and reduce visibility at the slab edge.
We check bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and other moisture-prone zones for leaks, dampness indicators and conditions that attract termites and timber pests. Moisture can be the trigger that turns a low-visibility issue into an active infestation.
We assess stumps, bearers, joists and ventilation (where accessible) for termite leads, fungal decay and borer activity. Poor airflow and damp subfloor conditions can accelerate timber deterioration and make termite activity harder to detect from inside the home.
We inspect accessible roof void timbers for signs of termite movement, borer pin-holes, and moisture staining from roof leaks. Termites can travel inside wall cavities and present in upper timbers, especially where there has been previous water ingress.
We check decks, pergolas, fences, sleepers and timber landscaping that can be in contact with soil or damp areas. These timbers can show early timber pest activity before it becomes obvious inside the dwelling.
Where safe and appropriate, we sound and probe accessible timber to locate hollowness, softening or galleries consistent with termite or decay damage. This helps confirm whether visible marks are cosmetic or indicate loss of structural integrity.

Yes. Renovations can actually make termites harder to detect because new linings, cabinetry and floor coverings conceal early damage and entry points. Termites can travel through wall cavities and behind finishes without obvious signs. An inspection focuses on accessible risk areas, moisture sources and likely termite pathways, then highlights any conditions that could allow concealed activity to continue.
We look for evidence of timber pest activity that affects building timbers, including signs consistent with borers and other wood-damaging insects, as well as timber decay linked to ongoing moisture. We assess the type of damage, how widespread it appears, and what conditions are supporting it. The goal is to identify what is happening now and what may become a problem if left untreated.
Time varies with the property size, access and the number of timber structures on site. A compact townhouse can be quicker, while a property with subfloor access, a roof void and multiple outdoor timber elements takes longer. We work methodically, focusing on the perimeter, wet areas, accessible cavities and any suspect timbers, then explain the key findings and recommended next steps.
They can. Tight courtyards, paving and raised garden beds can reduce visibility along the building edge and create concealed termite access points, especially if soil or mulch sits high against walls. These areas can also trap moisture near the structure. During the inspection we assess how landscaping and hardscaping interact with the building and note any conditions that increase termite entry risk.
We document the evidence, identify the most likely locations of activity based on accessible areas, and explain the urgency and practical next steps. That may include recommendations to engage a termite treatment provider, rectify moisture sources, improve ventilation, or repair affected timbers. We also outline any access limitations that could affect certainty, so you understand what was and wasn’t able to be inspected.
