Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect slab edges, weep holes, brickwork cracks, penetrations, and any areas where soil or mulch sits high against the wall. These spots are common termite access routes and can be concealed by garden beds and retaining timbers typical in Wonga Park South.
Where there’s safe access, we check subfloor ventilation, dampness, stumps/bearers/joists and any stored materials. Moist, low-airflow subfloors can support termite activity and fungal decay that weakens timber and attracts pests.
We examine exposed timber for softening, blistering paint, hollowness, mud packing and other signs of damage. Outdoor timber is a common starting point for termites before they move into structural framing.
We look for evidence of timber pests in roof timbers, trusses and insulation contact zones, and we note moisture sources such as roof leaks or condensation that can contribute to pest activity.
We identify risk factors such as timber-to-ground contact, blocked subfloor vents, leaking taps or downpipes, poor drainage, and dense vegetation touching walls. Reducing these conditions is often the fastest way to lower termite risk.
If we find activity or damage, we document locations and likely causes, then provide practical next steps (for example, where to engage a termite management provider, what repairs to prioritise, and which conditions to rectify first).

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
Many Wonga Park South properties have leafy gardens, timber features and shaded, damp zones that can increase termite pressure. While the right inspection frequency depends on the home and its surroundings, an annual professional termite inspection is widely recommended for most Australian homes. If the property has a subfloor, extensive decking, or heavy landscaping against the building, more vigilant monitoring is often sensible.
We inspect accessible internal rooms, roof void and subfloor (where safe), plus the full exterior perimeter. We pay close attention to slab edges and weep holes, decks and pergolas, fence lines near the house, retaining sleepers, garden beds, downpipes and drainage points. The aim is to find active pests, evidence of past activity, and the moisture or access conditions that allow termites to thrive.
Yes. Termites can feed inside timber and travel through concealed paths, so obvious damage may not show until later. That’s why we look for subtle indicators like mud leads, moisture-related decay, changes in timber sound/feel, and risk factors around the structure. Early detection can prevent structural framing damage and reduce the scope of repairs and treatment required.
If you can, clear access to the house perimeter and subfloor entry, move stored items away from walls, and keep firewood stacked well clear of the building. If garden beds are built up against brickwork, note those areas for us to assess. Don’t disturb anything that looks like termite mudding—leave it intact so we can identify activity pathways accurately.
Our inspection focuses on detection and reporting so you have an independent assessment of the property’s condition and risks. If we identify signs consistent with active termites, we’ll recommend the appropriate next step, which usually involves engaging a qualified termite management provider for treatment options such as baiting or a barrier system. We’ll also outline the property conditions to fix to support long-term control.
