Kerrimuir homes often mix older brick veneers with renovated extensions and subfloors that can hide movement, moisture, pests and legacy materials—this package checks the structure, floor levels, electrical safety, timber pests and visible asbestos in one coordinated visit.
11 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually assess key structural elements such as roof framing, walls, bearers and joists, and signs of movement or distress. In Kerrimuir, where extensions and re-stumping work can vary in quality, this helps flag issues that can turn into major rectification costs.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in KerrimuirWe identify major building defects that affect function, safety, and value—such as failed waterproofing outcomes, significant cracking, and poor workmanship. Kerrimuir homes with partial renovations can hide incompatible materials and unfinished compliance items, and this inspection is designed to surface them.

The Premium Package is built for the sort of properties you see around 3129—family homes, updates over time, and occasional DIY work that can leave hidden defects. For $699, we combine 11 checks that work together: major structural and building defects, safety hazards, termite and timber pests, a visual asbestos survey, mould presence, electrical visual inspection plus polarity safety testing, a digital floor level survey, smoke detector placement assessment, and reporting of minor defects. You get a clearer picture of what’s urgent, what’s developing, and what’s simply maintenance. ACE Building and Pest Inspections is based in the Ringwood region, so we know the local construction styles and common failure points that show up during pre-purchase inspections nearby. We explain findings in plain Australian English, prioritise defects by risk, and give you practical next steps so you can negotiate or plan repairs with confidence.
Kerrimuir properties commonly include older materials alongside newer renovations, which can create mismatches between original framing, updated wet areas, and added rooms. That’s why a combined approach matters here—floor level readings help confirm movement, pest checks focus on concealed timbers, and moisture and mould indicators are assessed around bathrooms, laundries and subfloor ventilation where issues often start.
If the home has an extension, older materials, or uneven floors, the $699 Premium Package pinpoints structure, pests, electrics, mould and visible asbestos in one visit—call 0485 857 077.
We look for safety hazards that can cause immediate risk, including trip hazards, unsafe access points, and visible issues that could lead to injury. For Kerrimuir family homes with updated outdoor areas, steps, decking and storage spaces, these hazards can be easy to miss during open inspections.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in KerrimuirWe inspect accessible areas for evidence of termites and timber pests, including damage, conditions conducive to activity, and likely entry points. In Kerrimuir, fences, gardens, subfloors and older timbers can create bridging and moisture conditions that support pest activity.
Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in KerrimuirOur visual asbestos survey identifies materials that commonly contain asbestos based on appearance and location, and we outline where further testing may be needed. Kerrimuir properties that pre-date modern fibre-cement replacements can still contain legacy sheet products in eaves, wet areas, or outbuildings.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in KerrimuirWe check for visible mould and conditions that support fungal growth, such as poor ventilation, moisture staining and condensation. Kerrimuir homes with upgraded windows, tighter seals, or older bathrooms can trap moisture, making early detection important.
Learn more about Mould Presence in KerrimuirWe conduct a visual-only assessment of accessible electrical components for obvious defects and non-compliant indicators. In Kerrimuir, where DIY upgrades can occur over time, this helps highlight issues that should be reviewed by a licensed electrician before settlement.
Learn more about Electrical Visual Inspection in KerrimuirWe use digital equipment to measure floor levels and identify unevenness that may indicate movement, settlement, or subfloor issues. This is particularly useful in Kerrimuir where older homes, extensions, and varying foundations can create noticeable slope or bounce across rooms.
Learn more about Digital Floor Level Survey in KerrimuirWe visually confirm the presence and placement of smoke detectors and note gaps in coverage. For Kerrimuir homes with added bedrooms or reconfigured hallways, placement can be overlooked during renovations, so this check helps you identify what needs updating.
Learn more about Smoke Detectors Assessment in KerrimuirWe perform electrical polarity testing to help detect potentially dangerous wiring faults at accessible points. In Kerrimuir properties with older circuits mixed with newer fittings, polarity issues can occur and should be addressed promptly for occupant safety.
Learn more about Electrical Safety Assessment in KerrimuirWe report on minor defects such as deteriorated seals, minor cracking, sticking doors, damaged vents and other maintenance items. In Kerrimuir, these smaller issues often point to bigger patterns—like moisture entry or movement—so you can fix causes, not just symptoms.
