What Termite Damage Looks Like
Termites are silent destroyers. Most homeowners don’t notice them until significant damage has already occurred — and in many cases, visual signs alone aren’t enough.
In this video, we show real-life examples from subfloor inspections, including:
✔️ What termite damage looks like when timber crumbles at the touch
✔️ Common warning signs of termite activity
✔️ What live termites look like up close
These examples highlight just how hidden and destructive termites can be.
Why Bayside Homes Are High-Risk
Homes around Capalaba and the Redlands are particularly vulnerable to termite infestations. Factors that increase risk include:
- Soil type: Termites thrive in clay and sandy soils that retain moisture.
- Climate: Warm, humid conditions provide an ideal environment for termite colonies.
- Subfloor conditions: Damp, dark areas beneath houses create perfect nesting sites.
Even a small, unnoticed colony can cause thousands of dollars in damage over time.
Common Signs of Termite Activity
While damage is often hidden, there are some warning signs homeowners can watch for:
- Hollow or crumbling timber when tapped
- Mud tubes along walls or skirting boards
- Bubbling or peeling paint
- Swollen or warped timber
- Timber in contact with soil
But remember — absence of visible signs does not mean your home is termite-free.
