Peace of mind you can rely on

Termites and borers can silently destroy your investment. Our inspections detect:

  • Live termite activity
  • Past damage or fungal decay
  • Risk conditions (e.g., leaks, timber-soil contact)
  • Advice for treatment and prevention
  • Can be combined with pre-purchase or building inspections for full coverage.

Frequently asked questions

We’re here to help. Here are answers to some of the most common queries we receive.

What does a timber pest inspection include?

Our timber pest inspection covers active termite presence, previous damage, fungal decay, wood borers, and risk conditions such as moisture issues or timber-soil contact. We inspect all accessible areas including subfloors, roof voids, walls, and exterior timbers.

Why should I get a termite inspection?

Termites can cause serious structural damage — often without visible signs until it’s too late. A professional inspection gives you peace of mind, whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining a property.

Can I combine this with a building inspection?

Absolutely. Many clients choose to combine timber pest and building inspections for a comprehensive overview. This provides a full structural and pest health check in one visit and is often more cost-effective.

Do you use any special equipment?

Yes. We use moisture meters, thermal cameras, and sounding tools to detect hidden pest activity or conducive conditions. If needed, we can recommend further invasive testing.

What if you find termites or damage?

If we detect live termites or damage, we’ll provide clear photos, a written report, and guidance on treatment and prevention. We can also refer you to licensed pest controllers for fast, professional remediation.
