Independently verified with every regulator and industry body we work under
A timber pest inspection under AS 4349.3 looks for evidence of termites, wood-boring insects and fungal decay, and for the conditions around a property that make an attack more likely.
Melbourne’s west is not the highest-pressure termite region in Australia, but risk is a property-level question rather than a suburb-level one.
What the inspection covers
- Interior, exterior, roof void and subfloor inspected for live activity and workings
- Timber damage assessment and, where present, an opinion on whether it is active
- Termite radar and moisture meters used where the visual inspection warrants it
- Fences, retaining walls, decks, pergolas and stored timber within the property
- Conducive conditions listed with what to do about each
Why this matters in Tarneit
The conducive conditions we find most often on Tarneit properties are all landscaping decisions made after handover: raised garden beds against the slab edge, timber sleepers retaining those beds, drip irrigation run close to the perimeter, and mulch bridging the inspection zone. Each is cheap to correct and each meaningfully changes the risk.

FAQs
Timber Pest Inspections — common questions
Are termites a real problem in Tarneit?
Less than in parts of Queensland or northern New South Wales, but they are present in Victoria and the risk depends far more on the individual property than the postcode.
Do you treat termites if you find them?
No. We inspect and report only, and never quote treatment. That separation is what keeps the finding trustworthy.
How often should I have an inspection?
Annually is the general recommendation, and more often if a previous inspection found conducive conditions you have not yet corrected.
