Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check slab edges, weep holes, brick vents, expansion joints and service penetrations for mudding, bridging and concealment. These are common termite entry routes, especially where soil and mulch sit high against walls.
Where access allows, we inspect stumps, bearer-and-joist timber, ant caps, plumbing runs and ventilation. We look for dampness, fungal decay and termite workings because hidden subfloors are where damage can progress unnoticed.
We examine accessible roof space timbers for signs of termite lead activity, borers and wood decay, and check for moisture sources such as bathroom exhaust discharge or roof leaks that can attract timber pests.
We assess posts, bearers, ledger boards, balustrades and timber-to-ground contact points for softening, galleries and borer holes. Outdoor structures are often the first place termites and borers show up on Wonga Park blocks.
We target bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, hot water units and external taps for dampness and leaks. Moisture increases termite risk and can also cause timber decay that looks similar to pest damage, so we differentiate the likely cause.
Our report documents evidence found, access limitations, and the areas that most need monitoring or treatment. We flag conditions that raise termite likelihood, so you can address the drivers—not just the symptoms.

Wonga Park’s mix of bushland edges, established gardens and larger blocks can create favourable conditions for termites, particularly where soil stays damp and there’s timber debris or timber-to-ground contact. Risk varies by site, drainage and construction type, so an inspection focuses on entry points, moisture sources and any evidence of active or previous termite activity across accessible areas.
We inspect accessible internal rooms, skirtings and door frames; the roof void where safe; and the subfloor where access permits. Externally, we check the full perimeter, slab edges, weep holes, service penetrations, fences and external timbers such as decks and pergolas. We also assess moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, laundries and around hot water units.
Yes. Termites often travel in concealed areas such as wall cavities, subfloors and along plumbing penetrations, so visible damage can appear late. An inspection looks for indirect indicators like mud leads, moisture conditions, damaged or hollow-sounding timber, and high-risk bridging at the perimeter. While no inspection can see through every surface, it can identify evidence and conditions that warrant treatment or monitoring.
They do. Sloping sites can create drainage issues, damp subfloor zones and concealed bridging where soil is built up near walls. We pay close attention to retaining walls, sleeper borders and garden beds that sit against the house, plus any steps or split-level transitions that hide entry points. We also look for subfloor ventilation issues that keep timber damp and attractive to termites.
For many homes, an annual inspection is a sensible baseline because termite activity can change quickly with weather, landscaping and building works. If your property has higher-risk factors—such as extensive external timbers, a damp subfloor, previous termite activity, or heavy garden beds against walls—you may need more frequent checks. We’ll note the risk factors observed and recommend an appropriate inspection interval.
