Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect accessible subfloor areas, ant capping, stumps, piers and the internal perimeter for mud leads, termite workings and timber softening. These are common places for concealed entry in Glen Waverley homes, especially where the ground level sits close to timber or ventilation is limited.
We use moisture detection to identify damp hotspots around showers, vanities, dishwashers and laundry plumbing. Elevated moisture can attract termites and accelerate timber decay, and it can also indicate leaks that need fixing to reduce future pest pressure.
We check visible timbers for sounding changes, blistered paint, pinholes, delamination and surface distortion. This helps distinguish termite-related damage from wood borers or decay and highlights areas that may need further investigation by a qualified tradesperson.
Where safe access is available, we inspect the roof space for timber pest evidence, including borer exit holes, frass, damaged trusses and moisture staining. Roof timbers can be overlooked, particularly after reroofing, insulation upgrades or electrical work.
We inspect timber structures and landscaping timbers that sit near or in contact with soil. These can act as a ‘bridge’ for termites to move toward the home, and they often show early warning signs before internal damage becomes visible.
We check for blocked or bridged weep holes, high garden beds, paving levels and stored items that cover slab edges. These issues can allow concealed termite access and make early activity harder to spot during routine home maintenance.

For Glen Waverley properties, an annual termite and timber pest inspection is a sensible baseline because termite activity can develop without obvious signs. If your home has a subfloor, timber decking, garden beds against walls, or a history of moisture issues in bathrooms or laundry areas, more frequent checks may be recommended. Regular inspections help catch early activity and highlight risk factors you can fix.
Early signs can include mud leads along walls or piers, tight doors, blistered paint, faint clicking in timber, or areas that sound hollow when tapped. In Glen Waverley, we also often find risk indicators such as bridged weep holes, damp subfloor timbers and concealed edges behind landscaping. Termites can be active without visible damage, which is why a thorough inspection matters.
Yes—where accessible, we inspect external timber structures like decks, pergolas, fences and timber retaining/sleeper walls because they can be the first place termites or borers show up. These structures often sit close to soil and moisture, which increases risk. We’ll note any timber-to-ground contact, decay and entry points, and explain how these areas could affect the main dwelling.
They can. Renovations may introduce new timber, alter drainage, or cover inspection zones with cabinetry, wall linings or flooring. Extensions can create junctions between old and new construction where moisture collects or where slab edges and weep holes become bridged by paving and garden beds. During a Glen Waverley inspection, we pay close attention to these transition points and wet-area changes.
If we identify activity, we’ll explain what we observed, where it was found, and what immediate steps to take to limit further risk. We’ll also outline practical recommendations, which may include engaging a pest management provider for treatment, improving ventilation, fixing leaks, lowering soil or garden bed heights, or removing timber-to-ground contact. If access limitations apply, we’ll advise on next actions.
