Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect accessible subfloor areas (where present), decking supports, verandah posts and perimeter timbers for mud leads, concealed workings and hollow-sounding timber. These are common entry and feeding zones where termites can stay out of sight while damaging structural components.
We identify moisture-prone zones such as bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, hot water service areas and external drainage points. Moisture can soften timber and attract pests, and it can also mask early warning signs by keeping damage hidden behind linings or cabinetry.
Where access allows, we check roof spaces and visible framing for signs of termite activity, borer damage, staining and disturbed timber fibres. Roof timbers can be affected by moisture and ventilation issues, and pests can move undetected along framing lines.
We assess external timber structures that contact soil or mulch, including fences, sleepers and retaining walls. These can provide concealed pathways for termites and can also show early wood damage that indicates broader activity on the block.
We differentiate between timber rot, water damage and pest-related deterioration by examining affected areas and the surrounding conditions. This helps you avoid unnecessary treatments and instead focus on the right fix, whether that’s repairs, drainage changes or pest management.
Your report highlights where evidence was found (or where risk is higher), what it means for the property, and what to do next. We include recommendations such as targeted treatment, further invasive investigation where access is limited, or changes to moisture and timber-to-soil contact.

They can be. Warranwood’s leafy setting and garden-heavy blocks often mean more damp soil, shaded areas and timber landscaping, which are conditions termites favour. Trees don’t automatically mean termites, but they can make moisture control and visibility harder. A pest inspection looks for active signs (like mud leads and workings) and also the conditions that allow termites to establish.
We check accessible internal areas, external perimeter zones, and timber structures around the property for evidence of termites and other timber pests, plus conditions that attract them. In Warranwood, that includes paying close attention to decks, pergolas, fences, sleepers and retaining walls, as well as moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, laundries and drainage points. You receive a detailed report with findings and recommendations.
Yes. Termites often travel through concealed paths and can feed inside timber while leaving the surface looking intact. They may be active in subfloors, wall cavities, roof timbers or external structures before you see damage indoors. That’s why the inspection focuses on likely entry points, moisture zones and timber-to-soil contact, not just visible damage in living areas.
They can significantly affect risk. Timber sleepers and retaining walls that sit against soil and mulch can hide termite activity and create bridging points toward the house. During the inspection we assess these structures for decay, mudding, hollow timber and other indicators, and we note whether their placement or condition increases the likelihood of termites reaching the dwelling. The report will recommend practical changes if needed.
A regular inspection schedule helps because termite activity can start and progress between renovations or major maintenance. Many homeowners arrange inspections annually, and it’s also wise before buying, selling, or after changes that affect moisture and timber exposure, such as new decking, landscaping, drainage works or bathroom updates. We can advise a suitable frequency based on your property’s construction and site conditions.
