Basic Package Building & Pest Inspection in Kew East

We visually assess key structural elements such as walls, floors, roof framing and signs of movement, including cracking patterns and unevenness. In Kew East, where older homes may have experienced past renovations or re-stumping, this helps identify whether movement looks historic, ongoing, or linked to moisture and drainage.

We look for major defects that affect the building’s performance—roofing issues, water entry points, deteriorated materials and faulty finishes that indicate bigger problems. For Kew East houses with mixed-age additions, this check helps spot weak junctions between old and new work that can lead to leaks, rot and costly rectification.

We inspect accessible areas for evidence of termites and other timber pests, including mudding, damaged timbers and conducive conditions. Many Kew East homes have gardens, decking, pergolas or timber elements close to the ground—this inspection helps you understand the risk areas and what needs attention to reduce future activity.

We identify visible hazards that can create immediate risk, such as trip hazards, unsafe balustrades/handrails, or obvious defects that could cause injury. In Kew East, where family homes may include older steps, paths and updated outdoor areas, this check helps you spot practical safety issues before moving in or leasing out.

Our visual asbestos survey flags materials that commonly contained asbestos in older Melbourne buildings, based on appearance and typical use. In Kew East, older eaves, wall linings, outbuildings and fencing can be worth a closer look, and we’ll note suspected materials so you can plan testing or safe management if needed.

We look for visible mould, water staining, damp odours and conditions that support fungal growth, particularly around wet areas and poorly ventilated zones. For Kew East homes with updated bathrooms or older subfloors, this helps identify whether moisture control and ventilation may need improvement.

We conduct a visual-only assessment of accessible electrical components and visible wiring issues, noting obvious risks and non-compliant indicators. Kew East properties can include a mix of older switchboards and newer additions, so this check helps you prioritise what to have assessed further by a licensed electrician.
