Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check the base of external walls, weep holes, slab edges, ant caps (where present) and subfloor timbers for mudding, leads and concealed access points so you can address entry routes before structural damage spreads.
We test for elevated moisture in bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, around hot water services and at external penetrations. Dampness can make timbers easier for termites to attack and can indicate leaks that need fixing to reduce risk.
We closely inspect decks, pergolas, timber stairs, retaining walls, sleepers, fences and detached structures for softening, hollowness, blistering paint and frass that can indicate termite or borer activity.
Where safe access is available, we inspect roof space timbers for borer pin-holes, powdery frass and moisture staining. Early roof timber issues are often missed until sagging or visible damage appears.
We use appropriate detection tools to help identify abnormal readings behind wall linings or within timber elements where termites may be concealed, supporting a more confident call on whether further invasive investigation is warranted.
We look for signs of previous termite management, visible drill-and-plug work, and common bridging issues such as garden beds, paving, stored timber or soil levels that can compromise barriers and increase attack risk.

In high termite-risk parts of Australia, regular inspections are an important prevention step. For Guys Hill homes with timber decks, fencing, sheds or lots of garden contact around the house, annual inspections are a sensible baseline. If you’ve had past termite treatment, recent renovations, plumbing leaks, or major landscaping changes, it’s worth inspecting sooner because these changes can increase risk.
We inspect accessible interior and exterior areas for signs of termite workings, damage to timber elements, and conditions that support timber pests. This includes checking perimeter entry points, subfloor/roof void where accessible, timber features like decks and pergolas, and moisture-prone zones such as bathrooms and laundries. We also note evidence of previous treatments and any factors that may compromise termite barriers or encourage re-infestation.
Yes. Termites often work inside timber or behind wall linings and can avoid open air and light, so surface damage may not show until the infestation is advanced. That’s why we look for indirect indicators such as mudding, changes in timber soundness, moisture conditions, and signs around entry points like slab edges and penetrations. Early detection is the key to limiting repair costs and disruption.
They can be. Detached timber structures and fences often sit closer to soil, experience more weather exposure, and may be harder to monitor regularly—conditions that suit termites and borers. In Guys Hill, where properties may have multiple outbuildings and extensive fencing, we pay close attention to ground contact points, damp corners, stored timber, and garden beds that can hide activity and provide a pathway back to the house.
Not always. Some findings are “risk conditions” such as high moisture, timber-to-ground contact, or barrier bridging, which may be reduced by repairs or maintenance. If we identify evidence of active termites or clear damage consistent with current activity, prompt professional treatment is usually recommended. We’ll explain the urgency on site and outline practical next steps so you can act with confidence rather than guesswork.
