Basic Package Building & Pest Inspection Keilor East

We visually check for signs of significant movement and structural distress such as pronounced cracking, distortion, or sagging that may indicate issues with footings, walls, roof framing or load-bearing elements. In Keilor East, this matters because many homes have had additions, and movement can show up where new work meets original structure.

This covers major defects that affect the building’s function and durability—roof and gutter problems, water entry indicators, failed flashings, and deteriorated external claddings and wet areas. For Keilor East properties that have been renovated, we pay close attention to finish quality and water management details that can be missed during quick upgrades.

We inspect accessible areas for evidence of termite activity and timber pest damage, including mud leads, damaged timbers, and conducive conditions around the property. Keilor East buyers often inherit older fences, sleepers, decks and garden timbers, and these can create pathways and hiding spots that support termite risk if not managed.

We identify visible hazards that can affect everyday use—trip hazards, unstable balustrades, unsafe stairs, damaged glazing, and other issues that can pose immediate risk. In Keilor East, where many homes have split-level layouts or retrofitted outdoor areas, a clear safety check helps you understand what needs fixing before move-in.

Our visual asbestos survey looks for materials that commonly contained asbestos in older Melbourne homes, such as certain eaves, cement sheeting, and older wet-area or outbuilding linings. In Keilor East, this is especially relevant for pre-1990 builds and DIY renovations, where older sheets may still be present behind newer finishes.

We check for visible mould growth and moisture indicators in areas prone to dampness like bathrooms, laundries, under-sink cupboards and behind furniture placed on external walls. Keilor East homes with older ventilation, renovated wet areas, or shaded parts of the block can show mould issues that point to ongoing moisture management problems.

We perform a visual-only assessment of accessible electrical components and obvious defects, such as damaged fittings, unsafe cabling visible to the eye, and concerns around switchboards where accessible. In Keilor East, where you may see a mix of older wiring and newer additions, this helps highlight red flags to raise with a licensed electrician before settlement.
