Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect the external perimeter for mud leads, concealed weep holes, slab edge bridging, garden bed contact and changes in ground level that allow termites to bypass visible inspection zones.
We assess moisture conditions around bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and hot water service areas because persistent dampness attracts termites and supports fungal decay that can be mistaken for pest damage.
We look for ventilation issues, damp timbers, borer activity and termite workings in framing and bearers/joists. These areas are commonly out of sight but can show the earliest signs of infestation.
We check exposed timber structures for softening, blistering paint, frass, galleries and joinery weak points. Outdoor timber is often the first location where termites and borers establish activity.
We differentiate termite indicators from borers and other timber pests by examining damage patterns, exit holes and residues, helping ensure the recommended treatment matches the cause.
We document conditions that increase termite pressure—such as timber-to-ground contact, stored timber, drainage issues and limited inspection zones—then list clear steps to reduce risk and improve ongoing detection.

Yes. Termites are a widespread issue across Australia, and Keilor East homes can be vulnerable where moisture and concealed access exist—such as garden beds against walls, damp areas near wet rooms, and timber structures connected to the ground. A termite and timber pest inspection checks for current activity and also identifies conditions that make an infestation more likely, so you can reduce risk promptly.
A Termite & Timber Pest Inspection focuses specifically on termites and timber pests, their evidence, and the conditions that support them. It includes targeted checks of timber elements, moisture-prone areas, subfloor/roof voids where accessible, and the external perimeter for entry points and bridging. A general building inspection looks more broadly at structural and maintenance issues, not pest activity in detail.
Often, yes. Termites can stay hidden behind linings, in wall cavities or subfloors, so we look for subtle indicators like mud workings, changes in timber soundness, moisture patterns and risk factors that allow concealed entry. While no inspection can see through every surface, using modern detection methods and a risk-based approach improves the chances of finding early activity and reducing the likelihood of missed problem areas.
They can. Outdoor timber and timber landscaping are common starting points for termite activity, particularly when timber is close to or touching soil and when moisture is present. In Keilor East, established yards can hide timber-to-ground contact and create damp zones near the house. We inspect these structures for damage, termite leads and bridging that could allow pests to move from the yard into the home.
Inspection frequency depends on your home’s construction, surrounding conditions and any past activity. If your Keilor East property has high-risk features like subfloor areas, poor drainage, extensive timber landscaping, or previous termite history, more frequent checks may be appropriate. We’ll outline the risk factors found on-site and recommend a suitable inspection interval and practical steps to reduce ongoing exposure.
