Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect the home’s perimeter for termite access routes, including slab edges, weep holes, expansion joints, penetrations and any areas where soil or garden beds meet the building. Where subfloor access is available, we look for mud leads, disturbed soil and damaged bearers/joists that can indicate concealed activity.
We test moisture levels in areas that commonly trigger timber pest issues, such as bathrooms, showers, laundries, kitchens and around hot water services. Elevated moisture can point to leaks or poor ventilation that encourages termite foraging and fungal decay, even when the surface looks fine.
We assess exposed timber elements including door frames, skirtings, window reveals, decks, pergolas, carport timbers and fencing where accessible. These areas are often the first to show borer holes, softening, blistered paint, or hollow-sounding sections that warrant closer investigation.
We examine roof void timbers and accessible framing for signs of termite damage, wood decay and pest activity. In Wheelers Hill homes with extensions or renovations, we pay attention to junctions between old and new construction where detailing can unintentionally create entry points.
We use professional detection tools to help identify suspicious areas behind linings or in timber where visual inspection alone may miss early-stage activity. This improves the chance of finding termite workings, moisture-affected timbers or other timber pest indicators before damage becomes obvious.
We document conditions that increase termite risk, such as poor drainage, stored timber against the house, mulch piled high, bridging of termite management zones, and ventilation issues. You’ll receive specific, practical steps suited to Wheelers Hill properties to reduce future risk.

Wheelers Hill homes often include outdoor timber features and established gardens that can conceal termite pathways and keep soil moist near the house. Termites can enter through small gaps and travel inside timbers without obvious surface signs. An inspection focuses on entry points, moisture-prone zones and accessible framing to find activity early and highlight conditions that raise risk.
Yes. Termites commonly work inside timber and wall cavities, so early activity may not show externally. You might only notice subtle clues such as tight doors, blistered paint, fine mud staining or hollow-sounding timber. Our inspection combines visual checks with targeted tool-assisted scanning and moisture testing to improve detection of concealed activity.
Yes. A timber pest inspection looks for a range of timber-destroying pests and timber deterioration, including borer activity and fungal decay associated with moisture. We inspect accessible timbers for exit holes, frass (powdery dust), softening, staining and other indicators, then explain what the signs mean and what action is sensible.
It can. Sloping sites may have drainage challenges, retaining walls, and garden levels that sit higher against parts of the house. These conditions can increase moisture and obscure slab edges or weep holes, making termite entry harder to detect. We pay close attention to drainage, ventilation, retaining interfaces and any areas where soil bridges the building.
We’ll explain the evidence found, the likely extent based on accessible areas, and the immediate steps to take. That may include recommending a licensed pest manager for treatment options and advising on risk reduction measures such as addressing moisture sources and removing bridging. We’ll also discuss whether further invasive investigation may be needed to confirm the full scope.
