Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We look for mud leads, shelter tubes, termite workings and disturbed timber in places termites commonly travel unnoticed—behind stored items, inside accessible cupboards, along slab edges, and around penetrations where pipes and cables enter the home.
We assess moisture levels and the conditions that support termite activity, focusing on bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, hot water service locations and around downpipes. Moisture doesn’t confirm termites, but it materially increases risk and helps prioritise repairs.
If the property has a subfloor, we inspect accessible areas for ventilation issues, timber-to-soil contact, fungal decay and termite entry points. These areas are often out of sight but are high-value inspection zones because damage can spread through structural timbers.
We check accessible roof void areas for evidence of drywood pests, borer activity, and moisture staining around penetrations and flashings. Roof spaces can show early clues of leaks that later drive termite attraction lower in the building.
We assess external timber elements that often act as ‘bridges’ for pests, noting timber condition, ground clearance and any suspect damage. Even if the house is protected, activity in a fence or deck can signal nearby termite pressure.
We identify risk factors such as garden beds above weep holes, paving hard up against walls, stored firewood, dense vegetation and poor drainage. These conditions can conceal entry points and reduce the chance of spotting termites early.

Yes. Brick veneer and brick homes in Noble Park North can still have timber framing, roof timbers, skirting, door frames and structural timbers that termites and borers can attack. Termites can enter through cracks, slab edges, or concealed pathways created by paving, garden beds and services. The inspection focuses on timber elements, evidence of activity and the moisture conditions that help termites thrive.
We inspect accessible internal rooms, wet areas, the roof void, subfloor (if accessible) and the exterior perimeter. We look for termite leads, workings, damaged timber, borer holes, frass, and conditions that increase risk such as poor drainage, timber-to-ground contact and high moisture readings. We also assess external timbers like decks, pergolas and fences where pests often start.
We use a combination of careful visual inspection techniques and technology to improve detection in concealed areas, including moisture assessment and targeted checking of common entry points. While no inspection can guarantee termites aren’t present (some areas may be inaccessible), we can identify risk factors and subtle indicators that suggest concealed activity, and advise on next steps if suspicion remains.
It can. Garden beds, mulch and paving against external walls can conceal weep holes, cover slab edges and create moisture retention, all of which increase termite risk and reduce early detection. In Noble Park North this is common in established yards and renovated landscapes. During the inspection we note these conditions, check accessible edges, and recommend practical changes to improve clearance, drainage and visibility.
Because Australia is considered a high termite risk environment, regular inspections are recommended even if you’ve never had termites. The right interval depends on the property, construction type, surrounding environment and moisture conditions. If you’re buying, it’s best to inspect before settlement. If you’ve recently had leaks, landscaping changes or timber works, an earlier inspection is wise.
