Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect common ingress areas such as slab edges, expansion joints, weep holes, service penetrations, steps and porches. These are frequent termite access points in suburban blocks, and early detection here can prevent termites reaching wall and roof timbers.
For homes with subfloor access, we check stumps, bearers, joists and ventilation. Poor airflow and damp soil can accelerate timber decay and attract timber pests, and subfloor activity often goes unnoticed until floors feel soft or uneven.
We identify moisture-prone zones around wet areas, external plumbing, overflow points and drainage run-off. Termites are strongly attracted to persistent moisture, so fixing the cause can be as important as treating any pest activity.
We check decks, pergolas, verandahs, window frames, fascias and external cladding for termite workings, borer holes and decay. Exposed timbers can be the first place pests establish before moving into concealed structural areas.
We look for sleepers, garden edging, stored timber, fence palings and landscaping that touches the home or sits above slab edges. These can provide concealed pathways for termites and can also hide termite leads on walls.
We check for pinholes, frass, exit holes, blistering paint and hollow-sounding timbers—signs consistent with borer activity and other timber pests. Correct identification matters because treatment options differ from termite management.

They can be. Renovations and extensions often introduce new junctions between old and new construction, changed drainage patterns, and hidden timber framing behind fresh linings. If garden beds, paving or decking have been added near the house, they can also conceal slab edges or create timber-to-ground contact. Our inspection focuses on these transition points to identify both active pests and conditions that make termites more likely.
We inspect accessible internal areas and the exterior for termite workings, mud leads, damaged timbers and timber pest indicators such as borer exit holes and frass. We also assess risk factors like moisture around wet areas, plumbing penetrations, drainage run-off, ventilation to subfloors (if present), and timber in contact with the ground. The aim is to find activity and the conditions that allow it to persist.
Yes. Termites often travel inside wall cavities, behind skirtings, under floors and through concealed entry points, so a property can look fine while damage is progressing. They may avoid open air and light, which is why early evidence is often subtle—fine mud traces, slight timber hollowness, or moisture-related conditions that support colonies. A thorough inspection improves the chance of catching issues early.
It can increase risk. Garden beds against walls, stored timber, old sleepers and fencing that touches the home can provide hidden pathways and moisture-holding zones that termites favour. These features can also “bridge” visual inspection points at slab edges, making activity harder to spot. During the inspection we check these boundary areas and recommend practical changes to reduce the likelihood of termite access.
We’ll explain where the activity was observed, how it may be entering the structure, and what parts of the property appear affected or at risk. We’ll also note any moisture or access conditions that may be contributing. While treatment is carried out by pest management providers, our findings help you act quickly with targeted advice for your pest controller and, if you’re buying, support informed negotiations and decision-making.
