Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check accessible subfloor areas for mudding, termite workings, timber decay and conditions that support termites, including poor ventilation and damp soil. Subfloors in garden-heavy Park Orchards blocks can stay humid, making early termite activity harder to spot without a targeted look.
We identify moisture-prone zones around bathrooms, laundries, external taps, hot water units and drainage points, as well as under decks and near downpipes. Elevated moisture can attract termites and accelerate timber deterioration, so pinpointing the source helps reduce ongoing risk.
We assess decks, pergola posts, stairs, fences, sleepers and attached structures for ground contact and hidden entry points. These elements can provide termites a protected route into structural timbers, particularly where landscaping has been built up against walls.
Where accessible, we inspect roof void timbers for signs of borers and other timber pests, including pinholes, frass (powdery dust) and damaged members. Roof framing issues can be overlooked because there’s often no visible damage at living-area level.
We distinguish between moisture-related decay, borer activity and termite-related damage by examining timber texture, galleries, surface blistering and debris patterns. Correct identification matters because the right treatment depends on the pest and the extent of damage.
We document conditions that increase termite risk in Park Orchards homes—stored timber against the house, garden beds covering weep holes, and tight access under floors or around additions. If an area can’t be accessed, we note it clearly and recommend practical options for further investigation.

They can be. Park Orchards has many leafy properties with extensive landscaping, timber sleepers, fences and shaded areas that hold moisture. Termites need moisture and concealed travel paths, so garden beds against walls, poor drainage, or timber touching soil can increase risk. An inspection focuses on these entry points and the concealed zones termites prefer, such as subfloors and attached timber structures.
We look for evidence of subterranean termites as well as other timber pests that damage wood, including borers. We also assess timber decay and moisture-related deterioration because it can mimic pest damage or create conditions that attract pests. Where we find indicators, we explain what they suggest, how urgent it is, and what the next steps should be for confirmation and management.
Yes—these are important in Park Orchards because external timbers can act as the first point of attack or provide a bridge into the home. We inspect accessible areas for ground contact, soft or hollow timber, mudding, and concealed junctions where timber meets brickwork. We also note landscaping or soil build-up that may be hiding weep holes or inspection zones around the perimeter.
We focus on termite workings, damaged timbers, dampness and ventilation. Subfloors can stay humid if air vents are blocked by gardens or soil, or if drainage directs water under the house. We check bearers, joists and other accessible structural timbers, plus plumbing penetrations and perimeter entry points, because termites commonly travel from the ground up through hidden routes.
Inspection frequency depends on risk factors such as landscaping, previous termite history, timber-to-ground contact and moisture issues. Many homeowners choose regular inspections because termites can cause significant damage before they’re visible. If you have extensive gardens, attached timber structures, or have recently changed drainage or landscaping levels, it’s sensible to book an inspection sooner rather than later and set a schedule based on the findings.
