Major Structural Defects

We visually inspect key structural elements to identify signs of major movement, distress or failure that can compromise the integrity of the home. In Kew East, where older homes may have had extensions or re-stumping work over time, this helps you spot red flags before you commit.

Major Building Defects

This covers significant defects in building components that can affect safety, liveability and future repair cost. For Kew East buyers, it’s especially useful when a property has been renovated—our focus is on whether the building elements present as sound and consistent, not just cosmetically updated.

Why This Package for Kew East?

Buying in Kew East (3102) can mean anything from an original mid-century home to a renovated family property with extensions. The Premium Package is built for that variety, so you’re not relying on assumptions about what’s behind walls, under floors, or above ceilings. For $699, you get 11 inspection components working together: major structural and building defect checks, safety hazards, termite and timber pest inspection, a visual asbestos survey, mould identification, electrical visual inspection plus polarity safety testing, a digital floor level survey, smoke detector presence/placement assessment, and a review of minor defects that can become expensive if ignored. ACE Building and Pest Inspections brings Melbourne-focused experience with local knowledge across the eastern suburbs, backed by clear reporting that prioritises what matters for your next steps. We explain what we found, why it matters, and the practical options—repair, monitor, or seek specialist advice—so you can move forward with confidence in your decision-making.

Local Kew East Considerations

Kew East properties commonly show a blend of older construction methods and incremental upgrades, which can create mismatches between the original structure and later renovations (for example, altered drainage, reworked subfloors, or updated rooms tied into older wiring). With leafy streets and established gardens, timber elements such as fences, pergolas and subfloor framing can attract timber pests, while ageing wet areas and poor ventilation can contribute to mould—making a combined building, pest, moisture and electrical check particularly valuable here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Premium Package worth it for older homes and renovated properties in Kew East?▼

Yes, because Kew East homes often combine original construction with later extensions or cosmetic updates. The Premium Package links structural checks with a digital floor level survey, then adds termite risk, mould indicators, a visual asbestos survey and electrical polarity testing. That combination helps you see whether the “nice renovation” sits on sound bones, and what may need urgent follow-up after purchase.

What does the Digital Floor Level Survey tell me that a standard inspection might miss?▼

A digital floor level survey provides measured readings across the floor, which can highlight patterns of slope or unevenness that aren’t obvious during a walk-through. In practical terms, it can support or challenge what you’re seeing with cracking, sticking doors or bouncy floors. It doesn’t replace engineering advice, but it gives you objective data to guide next steps.

Does the Visual Asbestos Survey confirm asbestos in the home?▼

No. The visual asbestos survey identifies materials that may contain asbestos based on appearance and typical usage for the property’s era and construction style. Confirmation requires laboratory testing of samples taken by a qualified professional. The value is in early identification of suspect areas so you can avoid disturbing them and plan safe testing or removal if renovations are likely.

Are termites a real concern in leafy parts of Kew East?▼

They can be. Established gardens, timber fences and pergolas, and moisture around the perimeter can increase timber pest risk, particularly where timbers touch soil or ventilation is limited. Our termite and timber pest inspection looks for evidence of activity and damage in accessible areas and notes conducive conditions. If we find risk factors, we’ll outline practical steps to reduce exposure.
