Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check for mud leads, termite workings, borer activity, fungal decay and moisture-related deterioration in underfloor timbers. Subfloors are a common starting point for damage because airflow is limited and problems can progress unnoticed.
We investigate moisture-prone areas such as bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and external tap points, looking for conditions that can support termite activity and timber rot. Moisture issues often explain why pests target one side of a home first.
We inspect the perimeter for risk factors including timber touching soil, concealed weepholes, garden edging against walls, and gaps around services. These issues can provide concealed pathways for termites to enter the building.
We examine accessible roof spaces for signs of timber pest activity and damage to framing members. Roof timbers can be affected by moisture from leaks or poor ventilation, and early signs are easy to miss from below.
We assess visible internal and external timbers—skirtings, architraves, door frames, window reveals, decking, pergolas and fences—for evidence of damage patterns consistent with termites, borers or decay.
You receive clear, location-specific findings: where activity is suspected, what conditions increase risk, and what actions reduce it (such as fixing moisture sources, improving ventilation or arranging further investigation). This helps you prioritise repairs and pest management.

Many older Dandenong weatherboard homes have raised subfloors with bearers and joists, which can be attractive to termites if ventilation is poor or moisture is present. Vulnerability isn’t just about age—risk increases when timber is close to soil, subfloor access is tight, or plumbing leaks create damp conditions. An inspection focuses on these high-risk zones and any signs of concealed entry.
A Termite & Timber Pest Inspection also looks for other timber-damaging pests such as borers and signs of timber decay associated with moisture. We assess damage patterns, check exposed timbers and accessible structural areas, and note conditions that support pest activity. If findings suggest a specific pest issue, we explain what evidence was observed and what follow-up steps are sensible.
Termites can be difficult to confirm if activity is fully concealed, but inspections look for indicators that often appear nearby—mud leads, disturbed timbers, moisture issues, and entry pathways around services and external walls. Where safe and accessible, we inspect relevant areas such as subfloors, roof voids and perimeter points. If access limits certainty, we clearly record that and recommend options to improve access or investigate further.
Yes. Even in units and townhouses, termites can travel through soil and exploit entry points around services, garden beds, or shared boundaries. Timber may still be present in roof framing, internal fit-outs, balconies, fences and pergolas. The inspection helps identify signs of activity and the site conditions that increase risk, and it also clarifies which areas were accessible within the lot and common areas.
The most effective steps usually involve reducing moisture and removing hidden access paths. That can include fixing leaks, improving subfloor ventilation, keeping weepholes clear, separating timber from soil, and managing garden beds or stored items against walls. After your inspection, we outline practical actions based on what we observed at the Dandenong property, so you can prioritise changes that meaningfully reduce risk.
