How Harbourside Wood Pest Radar Analysis Works in Woolwich
A visual check, an instrument pass, then a findings map with a written report — no timber opened up along the way.
Visual Survey
The specialist checks mud tubes, subfloor clearance and surface condition to decide where the radar pass should focus.
Scan & Read
Microwave radar and pin-free moisture readings are taken across the suspect timber to detect activity or damp beneath the surface.
Map & Report
Findings are marked on a simple diagram and handed over in writing, with next steps only where they're actually needed.
Wood Pest Radar Package Options in Woolwich NSW
Specialists scale the visit to how many rooms or subfloor runs need scanning and whether damp is suspected alongside termite activity.
Spot Radar Check
A focused scan of a single suspect area, such as one post, verandah beam or skirting run.
Full Subfloor & Roof Timber Scan
Radar and moisture readings taken across subfloor bearers, joists and roof timber in one visit.
Moisture-Linked Timber Mapping
For timber near a suspected damp source, moisture readings are logged alongside any radar findings for a fuller picture.
Annual Termite Re-Check
A yearly repeat scan to catch new activity early, recommended for harbourside Woolwich properties near reserve bushland.

Why Residents Choose Our Woolwich Specialists
Transparent rates, honest reviews, and a findings-led approach that doesn't reach for treatment before checking it's actually needed.
Tools & Equipment Used for Woolwich Radar Visits
Specialists arrive equipped to read the timber rather than open it up, so findings are grounded in instrument data wherever possible.
A Scan Method Matched to What's Actually There
Subterranean termites, timber borers and damp-linked decay each read differently on the instruments. Woolwich specialists plan the scan around the suspect timber, not a single default sweep of the whole property.
Timber Read Before Any Recommendation Is Made
Before suggesting any follow-up, local specialists confirm what the radar and moisture readings actually show, so the findings reflect the timber rather than a routine assumption.
Reviews from Woolwich Residents
Real feedback from residents across Woolwich 2110 & Hunters Hill.
"Spotted a soft patch on our verandah post and expected to be told the whole thing needed replacing. The radar scan showed the damage was old and inactive, so we saved ourselves an unnecessary job."
"Our federation weatherboards are original, so I didn't want anyone drilling into them to check. The radar and moisture readings came back through the paint fine and flagged one damp corner to keep an eye on."
"Booked the full subfloor and roof timber scan ahead of a renovation near the water. The findings map made it easy to show our builder exactly which bearers needed a closer look."
Wood Pest Radar Analysis Questions from Woolwich Residents
Straight answers about how the method works, timing, and what happens once timber has been mapped.
A microwave radar unit is passed across the timber surface to pick up density changes caused by tunnelling inside, while a pin-free moisture meter reads conductivity without piercing the wood. A thin borescope camera can also be fed through an existing weep hole or gap for a direct look, so the whole picture builds up without the timber being opened further.
Yes, the microwave radar reads through paint, render and most sealed finishes without marking them, which suits Woolwich's federation weatherboard and sandstone-trimmed homes well. Pin-free moisture readings are also unaffected by a painted or varnished surface since the meter reads conductivity rather than needing bare timber.
Radar density readings combined with fresh mud-tube or frass checks give a strong indication of whether activity is current rather than old damage. Where movement is picked up on a second pass at the same spot, that's treated as a strong sign the colony is still working that section of timber.
The specialist marks up a simple diagram of the property showing where radar or moisture readings came back elevated, so any treatment that follows only targets those sections. If nothing active turns up, the visit ends with a written record for your files instead of an unnecessary treatment being recommended.
