Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check subfloor timbers, bearers, joists and supports for mudding, hollowness and moisture-related decay. This matters in Croydon Hills where sloping sites and enclosed under-house areas can trap damp air and provide sheltered termite access.
We inspect around the home for termite leads, bridging and concealed entry points created by garden beds, mulch, retaining sleepers and edging timbers. These areas can hide activity and allow termites to bypass visible inspection zones.
We test exposed outdoor timbers—posts, bearers, decking boards and pergola connections—for borer holes, softening, and termite workings. Outdoor structures are common around Croydon Hills homes and are frequently the first place timber pests establish.
We assess moisture-prone locations such as bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and hot water service areas, looking for leaks or persistently damp materials that can attract termites and accelerate timber deterioration.
We check roof timbers for borer activity, fungal decay and signs of past termite movement, particularly around penetrations and areas with poor ventilation. Early-stage damage can be subtle and easily missed without a dedicated inspection.
We use professional tools to help confirm termite risk indicators, timber density changes and moisture anomalies in high-risk sections. This improves accuracy when visual signs are limited by paint, cladding, storage or tight access.

Yes. Croydon Hills has many leafy blocks with established gardens, shaded sides of homes and irrigated landscaping that can keep soil and timber damp. Termites are common across Australia and often enter from the ground through concealed paths. Our inspection focuses on subfloor areas, external timber structures and moisture conditions that can make nearby activity more likely to reach the home.
The inspection targets subterranean termites and other timber pests such as wood borers, and it also considers timber decay linked to moisture. We look for active infestation, evidence of past activity, and the conditions that support it. If we find indicators that need specialist treatment, we’ll explain what’s urgent, what can be monitored, and what preventative steps suit the property.
We inspect accessible internal and external areas, with particular attention to the perimeter, subfloor (where accessible), roof void (where safe), wet areas, and any timber structures like decks, pergolas and fences. We also assess landscaping features that can conceal termite entry, such as garden beds against walls, retaining timbers and stored timber piles near the house.
It can. Retaining sleepers and landscaped slopes can hold moisture and create concealed contact points where termites can establish and move unseen. Soil and mulch built up against walls can also bridge visual inspection zones. During the inspection we check retaining timbers, drainage and the perimeter for bridging, termite leads and damp conditions, then outline practical changes to reduce ongoing risk.
We’ll explain what we observed, where it is, and whether it appears active or historical. We’ll also identify the likely entry conditions, such as moisture, timber-to-ground contact or concealed bridging. You’ll receive clear recommendations on urgent actions, monitoring requirements and suitable treatment pathways. If further invasive inspection is needed to confirm extent, we’ll outline what that involves and why.
