Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check the external perimeter for concealed termite access, including slab-edge bridging, weep hole blockages, garden beds built up against walls, and timber-to-ground contact. These are common ways termites bypass visible areas and enter the structure without obvious surface signs.
Where accessible, we inspect subfloor timbers, stumps/bearers/joists, and ant-capping integrity for termite mudding, damp timbers, and ventilation issues. Subfloor moisture and limited airflow can make timber pests harder to spot and allow damage to progress quietly.
We examine roof timbers for borer holes, frass (powdery dust), and timber softness, plus any moisture staining from leaks or condensation. Roof voids can be overlooked, but pests and damp can compromise trusses and battens over time.
We identify moisture-prone areas such as bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, and external wet walls where dampness can attract termites and support timber decay. Finding moisture sources early helps reduce the conditions that lead to repeated termite pressure.
We assess timber structures that connect to the home, including decks, pergolas, steps, and fence lines near the dwelling. These can act as ‘highways’ for termites and timber pests, especially where timber meets soil or where water pools at posts.
You receive a clear summary of any timber pest evidence, conducive conditions, and the highest-risk zones specific to the property in Mooroolbark Station Estate. We prioritise what needs urgent attention versus what should be monitored or improved over time.

Yes. Termites don’t need a neglected house—only concealed access and consistent moisture. In Mooroolbark Station Estate, landscaped yards, shaded sides of homes, and subfloor or perimeter moisture can create favourable conditions. A Termite & Timber Pest Inspection looks for active workings, entry points, and the conditions that allow termites to stay hidden behind walls, skirtings, and in subfloor timbers.
We look for termite mud tubes, damaged or hollow-sounding timber, blistered paint, and fine cracks along timber surfaces. For borers, we check for round exit holes, powdery frass, and weakened roof or subfloor timbers. We also assess moisture-related timber softness, because damp timber is more attractive to pests and more likely to deteriorate once attacked.
We inspect all accessible areas and use suitable detection methods to help identify suspicious zones, but no inspection can guarantee detection of pests concealed behind every surface. Our focus is to combine visual evidence, moisture readings, and risk area assessment to locate likely activity and entry points. If we find indicators, we’ll recommend the most appropriate next step, such as further targeted investigation.
They can. Raised garden beds against walls, mulch piled high, and decking that covers slab edges can hide termite access and keep moisture against the building. In Mooroolbark Station Estate, these features are common and can unintentionally bridge protective gaps. During the inspection we assess these areas and explain what changes can reduce risk without needing to remove all landscaping.
For most homes, an annual termite inspection is a sensible baseline because termite activity can establish quickly and remain hidden. If your property has higher risk factors—such as subfloor moisture, heavy landscaping against external walls, or lots of timber structures near the house—more frequent checks may be recommended. We’ll explain the risk level we observed and the inspection interval that best suits the property.
