Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect the full accessible perimeter, weep holes, slab edges, steps, piers and any timber-to-ground contact for mud leads and concealed entry. Where a subfloor is accessible, we check ant caps, bearers and joists for disturbance and active workings that can be missed from inside the home.
We identify moisture sources that increase termite risk, including bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, hot water units, air-con drainage and external taps. Moisture readings and observations help pinpoint conditions that allow termites and rot to progress behind linings without obvious surface staining.
We look for pinholes, frass, blistered paint, soft or crumbly timber and damaged skirting/architraves that can indicate borers or fungal decay. These findings matter because wood-destroying pests often show up in older trim, roof timbers and attached outdoor structures.
Where safe and accessible, we inspect roof framing, trusses, sarking edges and penetrations for termite workings, moisture staining and timber deterioration. Roof voids can hide activity around plumbing vents and penetrations where condensation and minor leaks persist.
We check decks, pergolas, fences abutting the house, retaining timbers and stored timber piles for signs of attack and conditions that funnel pests toward the main building. Termites commonly use these connected structures as bridging points into the home.
Your report records evidence of pests, conducive conditions and the specific locations to address (for example, blocked weep holes, garden bed height or damp subfloor zones). We outline practical actions and when to consider a termite management system or further investigation.

Yes. Termites and timber pests often work out of sight in subfloors, roof voids and wall cavities, especially where moisture is present. In Noble Park North, garden beds against walls, older extensions and small plumbing leaks can create hidden risk areas even in tidy homes. A pest inspection focuses on evidence, entry points and conditions that aren’t obvious during an open for inspection.
The inspection targets termites as the primary structural risk, plus other timber pests such as wood borers where evidence is present. We also assess conditions that encourage pests, including moisture, timber-to-soil contact, poor subfloor ventilation and concealed entry points. If we see signs that suggest activity beyond a standard inspection, we’ll explain what further testing or investigation is appropriate.
Most inspections take around 60–90 minutes, depending on access to the subfloor, roof void and the size of the property and yard. Homes with multiple extensions, attached decks/pergolas, or tight roof spaces can take longer because there are more junctions and concealed edges to check. We’ll confirm timing when you book based on the property type.
Common concealment points include subfloors with limited clearance, older weathered timber around porches and pergolas, and renovations where new cladding meets older framing. Garden beds or paving built up near weep holes can also allow termites to enter without being seen. During the inspection, we focus on these junctions and moisture-prone areas because they’re frequent starting points for hidden damage.
We’ll document the evidence, identify likely pathways and explain whether the signs suggest active termites, past activity or high-risk conditions. You’ll get practical recommendations such as removing bridging, addressing moisture sources, repairing damaged timber, and considering a termite management system where appropriate. If we can’t access a critical area or the evidence suggests concealed activity, we’ll advise on further investigation options.
