Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check the external perimeter for concealed entry points, including slab edges, weep holes and areas where garden beds or paths sit too high. These spots can allow termites to bypass visual barriers and access wall frames without obvious surface signs.
We inspect bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and hot water service zones for moisture staining, swelling and conditions that attract termites and borers. Moisture issues often drive pest activity, so identifying the source helps you reduce ongoing risk.
Where safe and accessible, we examine roof timbers for borer pin-holes, powdering, mudding, fungus-related decay and past repairs that may hide damage. Roof spaces can show early signs before problems appear inside living areas.
For homes with bearers and joists or accessible subfloor areas, we check ventilation, damp soil, plumbing leaks and timber condition. Poor airflow and persistent dampness can accelerate decay and increase termite attraction.
We assess decks, pergolas, steps, fence lines and any timbers fixed to the home for decay, wood damage and termite leads. These structures can act as a bridge to the main building if they’re in contact with soil or constantly wet.
Your report separates active pest evidence from risk conditions and maintenance items, so you know what needs urgent treatment versus what can be scheduled. We include photos where relevant and practical next steps for Wheelers Hill property owners and buyers.

They can. Mature gardens often mean regular watering, mulch against walls and shaded, damp soil near the home. Termites are attracted to moisture and can travel unseen through wet ground and concealed entry points. During a Wheelers Hill pest inspection we pay close attention to garden beds, retaining edges, slab perimeters, weep holes and any timber in contact with soil.
We focus on termites and other timber pests that damage buildings, including signs consistent with borers and conditions that promote fungal decay. We look for mudding, timber hollowness, pin-holes, frass, moisture staining and damage to skirtings, frames, roof timbers and external structures. The report explains what’s active, what’s historic, and what conditions need attention.
Time varies with the size and accessibility of the property. A typical Wheelers Hill house inspection often takes around 60–90 minutes, allowing us to assess internal rooms, external perimeter, and accessible roof void or subfloor areas. If access is restricted by stored items, locked manholes or tight subfloors, we’ll note limitations and recommend the best way to gain access for a complete assessment.
Yes. Brick veneer construction can still contain timber framing, roof timbers, architraves and other wood components that termites target. Termites can enter through concealed pathways at slab edges, around plumbing penetrations or via attached external timbers like decks and pergolas. A Wheelers Hill pest inspection checks likely entry points and looks for early signs of timber pest activity inside and out.
Clear access to the manhole, subfloor entry (if present) and garage edges, and move items away from perimeter walls where possible. Trim or pull back vegetation touching the house and ensure pets are secured. If you’ve noticed sticking doors, bubbling paint, moisture smells or recent leaks, tell us on arrival so we can prioritise those areas during the inspection.
