Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We examine weep holes, expansion joints, service penetrations, external cladding junctions and brickwork for mud leads and concealed access. These are common pathways for termites to bypass visual barriers, especially around garages, porches and alfresco thresholds.
We check moisture patterns in bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, around hot water units and at external taps. Elevated moisture can attract termites and support timber decay, and it also helps explain why activity may be present even when timber looks sound.
Where access allows, we inspect roof timbers for signs of termite workings, borer pinholes, wood decay and past repairs. Roof spaces can show early clues of activity that isn’t obvious at ground level.
We look for borer flight holes, frass (fine dust), weakened timber fibres and damage patterns in structural and non-structural timbers. Identifying the pest type matters because treatment and urgency differ significantly.
We assess decks, pergolas, timber steps, fence lines, retaining sleepers and stored timber for activity and for bridging conditions. Timber in contact with soil or built up against walls can give termites a concealed route into the building.
Your report documents active findings, evidence of past activity, and conditions that increase risk (like poor drainage or garden bed height). We prioritise fixes so you know what to address first to reduce termite pressure and prevent repeat issues.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
Yes. Many Narre Warren homes are built on concrete slabs, and termites commonly enter through slab edges, cracks, joints, or service penetrations. Landscaping can also cover weep holes or create concealed paths. A pest inspection checks for active termite evidence and the conditions that allow entry, so issues can be addressed before damage spreads through wall frames and roof timbers.
The inspection focuses on termites first, then other timber pests such as borers and signs of wood decay that often go hand-in-hand with moisture. We also look for indicators that support activity—mud leads, damaged timbers, moisture levels, and environmental conditions around the building. If we find signs that suggest further testing or a targeted inspection is needed, we’ll explain the next step clearly.
Most inspections take around 60–90 minutes, depending on the size and layout of the property. We need access to all rooms, the garage, external perimeter, and any accessible roof void or subfloor areas. Clearing stored items away from walls, opening manholes where possible, and ensuring gates are unlocked helps us inspect key termite risk points thoroughly.
Yes. Garden beds built up against brickwork, heavy mulch kept damp, timber retaining sleepers, and fences or pergolas touching the house can all create concealed termite pathways. In many Narre Warren homes, moisture around bathrooms, laundries and external drainage points also plays a role. The inspection identifies these specific features on your property and outlines practical changes to reduce risk.
Yes. If we find active termites or clear evidence of recent activity, we document the locations, likely entry points and contributing conditions. We’ll advise whether immediate treatment is recommended and whether further invasive investigation is needed to confirm the extent of damage. The report is written so you can act quickly—whether that’s organising treatment, negotiating on a purchase, or planning repairs.
