Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect where termites commonly breach buildings: plumbing and electrical penetrations, expansion joints, weepholes, garages and ground-level interfaces. These areas are critical in Fishermans Bend where many properties are slab-on-ground and rely on details that can be bridged by landscaping, paving or stored items.
We examine accessible roof timbers, wall framing (where visible), skirtings, architraves, door frames and any exposed timber for borer pin-holes, frass, blistering paint and other indicators of active timber pests or past attack.
Moisture attracts termites and supports fungal decay that weakens timber. We assess likely damp zones, look for leaks and staining, and identify areas that may need further investigation, particularly in apartments and renovated spaces where waterproofing and plumbing changes are common.
External timbers and landscaped areas can be a bridge for pests into the main structure. We check decking, balcony thresholds, garden beds against walls, sleepers and pergolas for decay and pest activity, and note conditions that increase termite access.
We look for droppings, rub marks, gnawing, nests and entry gaps around garages, storerooms, bins and service cupboards, and we assess conditions that support cockroaches and ants in shared-building settings.
You receive a detailed report outlining evidence found, risk conditions, and practical recommendations such as repairs to reduce moisture, access improvements for future inspections, and when to consider further termite management if risk factors are present.

Yes. Even in newer apartment or townhouse developments, termites can access buildings via landscaping timbers, garden beds against walls, service penetrations and ground-floor interfaces. Shared walls and concealed cavities can also hide activity. A pest inspection focuses on accessible risk points, moisture-prone areas and any exposed timber, and it highlights building conditions that may need management to reduce the chance of infestation.
We look for signs of termites and timber pests such as borers, as well as conditions that support common household pests. That includes checking for moisture issues, wood damage, and evidence of rodent activity around garages, storerooms and entry points. Findings depend on access and what’s visible on the day, and the report sets out what we found and what should be addressed next.
A pest inspection is non-invasive, so we inspect accessible areas and look for indicators of concealed activity, such as mudding, hollow-sounding timber, damaged skirtings, moisture anomalies and termite leads near entry points. If we suspect concealed issues, we’ll note it and recommend the most sensible next step, which may include targeted further investigation or engaging a termite management specialist.
In Fishermans Bend, risk often increases where timber landscaping meets walls, where garden beds or planters sit hard against the building, and where external paving bridges weepholes or slab edges. Ground-floor storage, shaded damp corners, leaking external taps, and balcony/deck details can also create favourable conditions. The inspection identifies these site-specific issues so you can reduce the likelihood of termite entry.
Many owners arrange regular inspections because termite activity can establish without obvious early symptoms. The right frequency depends on your building type, nearby vegetation and landscaping timbers, moisture history, and whether previous risk conditions were found. After your inspection, we’ll outline a sensible monitoring approach based on what we observed at your Fishermans Bend property, including any high-risk areas that warrant closer attention.
