Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We examine accessible subfloor areas, bearers, joists and perimeter walls for mud leads, moisture build-up and concealed entry points—common termite pathways in older Ormond homes and under renovated additions.
We check susceptible timbers inside the home for borer holes, frass (fine dust), soft spots and distortion, focusing on floorboards, door jambs, window frames and built-in timber features where damage often shows first.
We assess likely damp zones such as bathrooms, showers, laundries and kitchens because moisture is a key driver for timber decay and termite attraction. We note visible leaks, poor ventilation signs and areas needing further investigation.
We inspect around the building edge for timber-to-soil contact, buried weep holes, garden beds against walls, sleeper retaining walls and stored timbers—factors that can allow termites to bridge into the structure unnoticed.
Where safe access is available, we look for evidence of timber pest activity in roof timbers, trusses and penetrations, and note any staining or dampness that can lead to timber deterioration over time.
Your report identifies evidence of activity, damage and conducive conditions, with photos and practical recommendations such as drainage improvements, ventilation fixes, timber clearance or arranging termite management where needed.

They can, particularly where there’s an accessible subfloor, older timber stumps, or garden beds and fencing close to the house. Termites are attracted to moisture and concealed access, so issues like poor drainage, leaking wet areas, and timber-to-soil contact raise the risk. Our Ormond pest inspection focuses on those entry points and the timber elements most likely to show early evidence.
The inspection focuses on termites and timber pests, plus the conditions that encourage them. We look for evidence of termite activity, wood damage and signs of borers in susceptible timbers. We also assess moisture-prone areas and external risk factors such as timber landscaping, stored timber and drainage issues. Findings are documented with photos and practical recommendations.
Often we can make an informed assessment by looking for fresh frass, live insects, active mud leads, clean-edged damage and moisture conditions that support ongoing activity. Some situations need follow-up monitoring or targeted treatment advice, especially where access is limited. Your report will clearly state what was observed, what couldn’t be confirmed, and what action is sensible next.
Renovations can conceal termite entry and timber decay behind new linings, decks, pergolas and landscaped edges. Added wet areas, relocated plumbing and poor drainage can introduce new moisture sources, while fresh cladding can limit visibility of older damage. During an Ormond pest inspection, we pay close attention to junctions between old and new work, external perimeters and any areas where access is restricted.
Time on site depends on the size and access of the property, but most inspections are completed efficiently in a single visit. After the inspection, you receive a detailed report outlining evidence of timber pests or termites, any timber damage found, and moisture or site conditions that increase risk. The report includes photos and clear recommendations for next steps.
