Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect the external perimeter for mud leads, workings and bridging points where termites can bypass barriers, including paths, paving, garden edging and where soil is built up against walls.
Where there’s access, we assess subfloor timbers for damage and pest evidence, and we note conditions that increase risk in Jordanville homes, such as poor airflow, damp ground, stored timber or leaking services.
We check accessible roof spaces for borer activity, timber deterioration and signs of moisture that can support pest activity, including staining, damp insulation and areas around penetrations.
We use moisture checks around bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and external wall junctions to identify damp zones that attract termites and contribute to timber decay, then flag the likely cause and the risk it creates.
We examine attached and nearby structures that commonly act as termite highways—decks, pergolas, stairs, fencing and landscaping timbers—looking for damage, soft spots, concealed fixings and ground contact.
If a termite management system or prior treatment is present, we check for visible indicators, disturbed zones and maintenance needs, and we note anything that may compromise effectiveness (such as landscaping changes or new paving).

They can, especially when timber is close to soil, stays shaded, or traps moisture against the house. In Jordanville, landscaped yards and timber features can create concealed pathways from the ground to structural timbers. During the inspection we check ground contact, damp zones, fixings, and any bridging points that let termites move from landscaping timbers into the building.
The inspection focuses on termites and other timber pests such as borers, plus conditions that attract them. We look for evidence of activity, damage patterns in timber, and moisture issues that increase risk. You’ll also receive notes on contributing factors like poor subfloor ventilation, leaking plumbing, or timber stored against the house.
Yes. A pre-purchase pest inspection helps you understand whether there’s active pest activity, previous damage, or risk conditions that could lead to costly repairs. We inspect accessible internal areas, roof void and subfloor (if accessible), and external structures and timbers. The report outlines what we found, what it means, and what actions are sensible next steps.
We look for termite workings, damaged bearers and joists, borer activity, and signs of ongoing dampness such as wet soil, condensation or fungal decay. We also check risk conditions that are common under homes, including restricted airflow, stored materials, and plumbing leaks. If access is limited, we document the limitation and recommend the safest way to improve access for ongoing monitoring.
Timing depends on the building size, access to subfloor and roof void, and the amount of external timber and landscaping to assess. Most inspections are completed in a single visit, followed by a detailed report that lists evidence found, risk areas, and recommendations. We’ll also talk you through the key findings so you know what needs action first.
