Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect exposed slab edges, weep holes, cracks, expansion joints and perimeter pathways to identify concealed termite access routes. This matters in Fishermans Bend where hardscaping, raised garden beds and close boundary lines can cover or bridge critical inspection zones.
We look for moisture sources that attract termites, including shower recess leaks, overflowing AC condensate lines, poor drainage falls, and dampness at wall-to-floor junctions. Reducing moisture is one of the most effective ways to lower termite pressure long-term.
We assess exposed timber such as skirtings, door frames, window frames, stairs, decking and pergola timbers for borer pinholes, frass, softening, blistered paint and abnormal sounding timber. These signs help distinguish pest activity from general wear and tear.
We pay close attention to areas often overlooked in high-density buildings, including basement storage, plant rooms, meter cupboards and shared service corridors where water ingress and limited airflow can create ideal conditions for timber pests to go unnoticed.
We review how mulch, planter boxes, retaining walls, timber sleepers and stored timber are positioned against the building. In Fishermans Bend, landscaped courtyards and rooftop/terrace planters can hold moisture and create hidden bridges to the structure.
We document signs of active termites, past workings, conducive conditions and timber damage, then outline priority actions such as moisture rectification, access improvements, or pest management recommendations. You’ll know what needs fixing now and what to monitor.

Yes. Even in newer developments, termites can enter via concealed cracks, service penetrations, or landscaping that bridges to the structure. Ground-floor apartments, podium levels, and buildings with courtyards or planter boxes can have higher risk because moisture can sit against walls or slabs. Our inspection focuses on entry points, moisture conditions and any timber elements that could be affected.
We look for evidence of subterranean termite activity and damage, plus timber pest indicators such as wood borers and conditions that support fungal decay. The inspection includes checking accessible timber for pinholes, frass, softness and abnormal sounds, and assessing moisture-prone zones that make timber more vulnerable. Where access is limited, we flag the risk and suggest practical access improvements.
If they’re accessible, yes. In Fishermans Bend, landscaped courtyards and terrace planters can retain moisture and conceal timber-to-soil contact, both of which raise termite risk. We check for bridging points, dampness against walls, drainage issues, and stored timber or sleepers. If an area is locked or restricted by body corporate access, we’ll note it and advise what should be inspected once access is arranged.
Converted buildings can have hidden cavities, older timbers, patch repairs and complex junctions where moisture collects—especially around bathrooms, kitchens and service risers. Some also have limited underfloor visibility or concealed edges due to fit-outs and flooring changes. We focus on accessible structural and decorative timbers, moisture hotspots, and perimeter conditions to identify both active pest indicators and factors that make future attack more likely.
We’ll explain what we observed, where it was found, and whether it appears active or historical based on accessible evidence. You’ll receive clear recommendations, which may include engaging a pest manager for treatment, addressing moisture sources, improving access for ongoing monitoring, and repairing damaged timber where required. If further invasive inspection is needed, we’ll outline why and what it would involve.
