Basic Package Building & Pest Inspection in East Melbourne

We inspect accessible areas for evidence of termites and timber pests, including damage, mud leads, and conducive conditions such as high moisture or timber-to-ground contact. East Melbourne’s older timbers, fences and subfloor spaces can be attractive to pests, especially where garden beds or leaks keep areas damp.

We identify visible hazards that may put occupants at risk, such as unsafe access points, trip hazards, damaged surfaces, or issues likely to impact everyday use. In East Melbourne, narrow side paths, steep stairs and altered layouts are common, so we pay close attention to areas where changes have introduced risks.

Our visual-only asbestos survey flags materials that commonly contain asbestos, such as older sheeting, eaves, wet area linings and external cladding, where accessible. East Melbourne’s period stock and mid-century updates can include asbestos-containing products, so we note likely materials and recommend the right next steps before any renovation or removal.

We check for visible mould and the moisture conditions that support it, including poor ventilation, rising damp indicators and leaks. East Melbourne homes with shaded walls, older bathrooms, and sealed-up renovations can trap humidity, so we assess the areas most likely to show persistent dampness.

We visually inspect accessible electrical components for obvious issues such as outdated fittings, damage, or signs of overheating. East Melbourne properties that have had multiple renovation stages can end up with mixed electrical upgrades, so we highlight visible red flags that warrant a licensed electrician’s testing.
