Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect around plumbing penetrations, weepholes, expansion joints, slab edges, and any timber-to-ground contact to find termite mud leads, workings, and entry paths. These are the areas termites commonly use to move from soil into concealed structural timbers.
We examine stumps, bearers, joists, and subfloor timbers for borer holes, fungal decay, and termite damage. In The Range Croydon, damp subfloor conditions can accelerate timber deterioration and attract pests, so we also note ventilation and moisture cues.
We check accessible roof voids for evidence of timber pests and moisture problems such as leaks or condensation, which can encourage decay and secondary pest activity. Roof framing issues often go unnoticed until ceilings stain or timbers soften.
We identify areas likely to hold moisture, including bathrooms, laundries, hot water service zones, and external drainage problem points. Elevated moisture supports termite survival and can mask damage, so these areas receive close attention.
Decks, pergolas, fences, retaining edges, and stored timber are inspected for contact points, damage patterns, and pest harbourage. We also flag garden beds built up against walls, mulch depth, and sleeper placements that can conceal termite activity.
Your report lists evidence of activity, suspected damage, and the specific conditions that increase risk at the property. We provide practical next steps such as moisture control, access improvements, and monitoring recommendations suited to local blocks and building styles.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
The Range Croydon properties often have more vegetation cover and garden-to-house contact points, which can conceal termite entry paths. We spend extra time checking slab edges, subfloor timbers, external structures like decks and pergolas, and moisture-prone areas created by drainage and shading. The report highlights site-specific risks such as timber sleepers, stored timber, and damp under-house conditions that can raise termite likelihood.
We focus on termites and other timber pests that can damage structural and non-structural timber, including signs consistent with borers and wood decay linked to moisture. The inspection looks for live activity, past workings, timber damage patterns, and conditions that allow pests to thrive. If we see evidence that warrants further investigation or treatment, we document it clearly and explain the next practical steps.
Yes. We inspect all accessible areas and note any access limitations that reduce visibility of critical timbers. In The Range Croydon, tight subfloor access and stored items can be common, and these restrictions matter because termites often travel unseen. We’ll document what couldn’t be accessed, explain the risk, and recommend ways to improve access so future inspections provide better coverage.
They can be. External timber structures and timber landscaping elements are frequently close to soil and moisture, which increases termite attraction and makes activity harder to spot. We inspect these items for timber-to-ground contact, concealed junctions, and damage indicators, and we check whether they create hidden bridges to the main dwelling. We’ll also flag where garden beds or mulch may be covering weepholes or slab edges.
Bookings are typically available quickly, and we’ll confirm timing when you call. After the inspection, you receive a detailed written report outlining any evidence of timber pest activity, areas of suspected damage, and the conditions that increase risk, such as moisture or contact points. We also provide clear priority actions so you can address urgent issues first and plan ongoing monitoring appropriately.
