Termite Inspection Brisbane
Professional Detection & Reporting
Professional termite inspections for Brisbane homes using thermal imaging, moisture detection, and over 35 years of local experience. Termites often remain hidden inside walls, floors, and roof timbers, which means activity can go undetected until significant structural damage has occurred.
At Results Termite & Pest Control Services, our termite inspections combine experienced technicians, systematic inspection procedures, and modern detection tools such as thermal imaging and moisture meters to help identify hidden termite activity.
Annual termite inspections are strongly recommended for Brisbane homes due to the region’s warm climate and high termite pressure. Regular inspections help detect termite activity early and reduce the risk of costly structural damage.

Signs You May Need a Termite Inspection
Homeowners often arrange a termite inspection after noticing changes in timber or unusual signs around the property. However, termites are frequently active long before visible damage appears.
Some common signs that may indicate termite activity include:
-
Mud tubes or “mud leads” along walls, fences or foundations
-
Hollow sounding timber when tapped
-
Bubbling or distorted paint on walls or timber
-
Sagging floors or doors that suddenly stick
-
Termite frass (fine timber dust) from drywood termites
Because termites usually remain hidden inside walls, floors and roof timbers, many infestations are only discovered during a professional termite inspection.
If you notice any of these signs, it is recommended to arrange a termite inspection as soon as possible.

What Happens During a Termite Inspection
A professional termite inspection involves a systematic examination of the property to identify termite activity and conditions that may increase termite risk.
The Termite Inspection Process
1. The Property and Surrounding Environment
Before inspecting the house itself, the surrounding property is assessed for areas where termites may be nesting or entering the structure.
Technicians inspect gardens, fences, trees, retaining walls and other nearby structures that may attract termite activity.
• Tree stumps
• Timber retaining walls
• Landscape timbers
• Timber stored against buildings
• Garden beds and fence lines
These locations can act as termite harbourage sites, allowing termites to establish colonies before moving toward the home.
2. Exterior of the Building
The external perimeter of the building is inspected carefully for termite entry points and signs of activity.
Inspectors look for:
Our inspectors examine:
-
Mud leads or termite shelter tubes
-
Damage to external timbers
-
Cracks in slabs or foundations
-
Timber-to-soil contact
-
Moisture problems around the structure
Termites often enter homes through small cracks in concrete slabs, expansion joints, or concealed entry points around the building.
3. Interior of the Home
Inside the home, accessible areas including skirting boards, door frames, windows, walls and structural timbers are inspected.
Inspection methods may include:
-
Tapping timber to identify hollow sounding areas
-
Moisture meter testing to detect elevated moisture levels
-
Thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature differences that may indicate termite activity
Because termites often remain hidden inside walls and timber structures, specialised inspection tools can help identify concealed termite activity.
4. Subfloor Areas
Where accessible, the subfloor area is inspected for termite activity, moisture issues and structural timber damage.
Subfloors are one of the most common termite entry points, as they provide dark, humid conditions ideal for termite activity.
Inspectors check:
-
Foundation walls
-
Plumbing penetrations
-
Timber bearers and joists
-
Moisture conditions
5. Roof Void Inspections
The roof void is inspected for termite damage to structural timbers. Roof leaks, condensation or poor ventilation can also create conditions that attract termite activity.
Although termites usually enter from ground level, damage can sometimes extend into the roof structure before being detected.
A termite inspection follows a systematic process designed to identify active termites, termite damage, and conditions that may allow termites to enter the structure.
Termite Risk Factors for Brisbane Properties
Certain conditions can increase the likelihood of termite activity around a property. During a professional termite inspection, we assess these risk factors to determine the level of termite pressure around the home and identify conditions that may attract termites.
Common termite risk factors include:
Timber retaining walls or landscape sleepers
Tree stumps or buried timber in the yard
Mulch or garden beds built up against the house
Timber-to-soil contact around the building
Leaking taps or poor drainage creating moisture
Stored timber or firewood near the structure
Homes located near bushland or natural reserves
Identifying these conditions allows us to recommend practical steps that can help reduce termite risk over time.
Many of these conditions are common around Brisbane homes, which is why regular termite inspections are strongly recommended across South East Queensland.
Thermal Imaging Termite Inspections
All our termite inspections include thermal imaging technology at no additional cost.
Thermal cameras help identify subtle temperature differences behind walls and ceilings that may indicate termite activity or moisture issues. While thermal imaging does not replace a full inspection, it provides an additional detection tool that helps identify hidden problems earlier.

Termite Inspection FAQs
How often should a termite inspection be done in Brisbane?
In South East Queensland, termite inspections are generally recommended at least once every 12 months due to the region’s warm climate and active subterranean termite species. Regular inspections help detect termite activity early before significant structural damage occurs.
How long does a termite inspection take?
Most termite inspections take around 60–90 minutes, depending on the size of the property and access to areas such as roof voids and subfloors. Larger homes or properties with restricted access may take longer to inspect thoroughly.
What does a termite inspection include?
A professional termite inspection involves a systematic inspection of the interior, exterior, roof void and subfloor areas (where accessible), along with the surrounding property. Inspectors look for signs of termite activity, termite damage and conditions that may increase the risk of termite attack.
What happens if termites are found during an inspection?
If termite activity is detected, the inspector will explain the findings and provide recommendations for treatment or termite management. This may include identifying entry points, assessing the extent of damage, and discussing suitable termite treatment or protection options for the property.
