Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check the external walls, slab edges, weep holes, expansion joints and any areas where soil, paving or garden beds sit high against the building. These zones are common termite entry points in Keilor East because access can be hidden behind landscaping, paths and stored materials.
We focus on bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and hot water service locations for moisture signs that attract termites and timber pests. Elevated moisture can also explain swelling timbers and hidden decay, so identifying sources early helps prevent ongoing damage.
For homes with subfloors, we inspect accessible areas for dampness, timber condition and evidence of pest activity, and we note blocked vents or poor airflow. Subfloor humidity can keep timbers soft and appealing to pests, particularly where storage or insulation reduces ventilation.
Where safe access is available, we inspect roof void timbers for pest leads such as mudding, staining, bore holes and damaged members. Roof spaces can show early warning signs that aren’t visible from living areas, especially in homes that have had ceiling or roof repairs.
We assess decks, pergolas, fences, steps and attached timber features for damage, decay and conditions that support infestation. Attached structures can provide a direct pathway to the main building if timbers are damp, poorly separated from soil, or concealed by cladding and finishes.
We identify and document practical risk factors such as timber-to-ground contact, concealed weep holes, drainage issues, stored timber, and overgrown vegetation. This helps you prioritise changes that reduce future termite pressure, not just report what’s visible on the day.

Yes. Brick veneer homes still rely on timber framing, roof timbers, skirtings and structural members that termites can damage. Termites can enter through concealed gaps at slab edges, around plumbing penetrations, or where garden beds and paving sit high against walls. A Keilor East termite inspection checks likely entry points and the timber components that matter.
We look for evidence of termites (including mudding, leads and damaged timbers), borers and other timber pests, along with conditions that increase risk such as dampness and timber-to-ground contact. We also check accessible areas for timber deterioration that can mimic pest damage. The goal is to confirm what’s active, what’s historic, and what needs action next.
They can. Extensions often introduce concealed junctions, new wet areas, altered drainage and boxed-in timbers where pests can travel unnoticed. Older homes with newer alfresco areas, decking or pergolas can also create direct timber pathways into the main structure. We pay close attention to joins between old and new work, moisture-prone areas, and concealed timber zones.
Often, yes. Areas with denser vegetation and consistently damp soil can support termite activity, especially where garden beds, sleepers and mulch are kept close to walls. Even if your property isn’t right on a waterway, shaded yards and poor drainage can hold moisture and raise risk. An inspection focuses on these site conditions as well as the building itself.
Clear access to the manhole, subfloor entry (if present), and key perimeter areas. Move stored items away from walls in the garage and under stairs if possible, and trim back vegetation that blocks weep holes or prevents viewing the slab edge. If you’ve noticed sticking doors, bubbling paint, or damp smells, point them out so we can target those areas.
