Mitcham homes often combine older brick veneer builds with later renovations and townhouse infill—this package checks movement, hidden timber pests, suspect asbestos materials and electrical safety in one coordinated inspection.
11 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually assess key structural elements for signs of significant movement or failure, including walls, roof structure, stumps/bearers where accessible, and visible cracking patterns. In Mitcham, this matters because properties can include older footings and later additions that may settle differently, creating stress points you’ll want identified before purchase.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in MitchamWe check for major defects that can affect liveability, durability and resale—such as serious water entry, roof issues, defective waterproofing signs, and compromised building elements. Mitcham homes with renovations or split-level changes can conceal poor workmanship, so this inspection helps separate cosmetic finishes from underlying defects.
Learn more about Major Building Defects in MitchamBuying in Mitcham means you can be looking at anything from a well-kept mid-century home to a renovated weatherboard or a newer unit. The Premium Package is built for that mix, so you can understand the building’s condition before you commit—especially where renovations, subfloors and roof spaces can hide expensive issues. Your $699 Premium Package includes checks for major structural defects, major building defects, safety hazards, termite and timber pests, a visual asbestos survey, mould presence, electrical visual inspection, a digital floor level survey, smoke detector placement, electrical polarity testing, and minor defects. Together, these services connect the dots between what you can see (cracks, moisture staining, DIY repairs) and what it can indicate (movement, water entry, timber decay, pest risk or unsafe electrics). ACE Building and Pest Inspections services Mitcham from our Ringwood base, so we’re familiar with the types of construction and common failure points across Melbourne’s east. You’ll receive clear, practical reporting that prioritises what needs action now, what can be monitored, and what to budget for—so your negotiations and repair planning are based on evidence, not assumptions.
Mitcham’s established streets and leafy blocks mean you’ll often find older materials and a mix of original and upgraded building elements in the same property. Extensions, updated bathrooms and re-roofing can hide past water ingress, while subfloor ventilation and drainage details can affect mould and timber condition. The Premium Package is designed to suit these local realities by combining movement checks, moisture-related observations, pest inspection focus areas and electrical safety screening in one visit.

We look for visible hazards such as trip points, unsafe balustrades/handrails, deteriorated stairs, and other issues that could pose an immediate risk. Mitcham buyers often inspect homes with older steps, decks or updated entries, so calling out hazards early supports realistic repair costs and safer move-in planning.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in MitchamWe inspect accessible areas for termite activity and timber pest risk, focusing on subfloors, fences, tree stumps, garden timbers and other conducive conditions. Mitcham’s gardens and older timber elements can create hidden entry pathways, so a targeted inspection helps you understand both current activity and what’s attracting pests.
Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in MitchamOur visual-only survey identifies materials that commonly contain asbestos and flags locations for further testing or careful management. Mitcham has many homes from periods where asbestos products were widely used, so spotting suspect eaves, wall linings or wet area sheeting can influence renovation plans and safety controls.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in MitchamWe assess visible mould and the conditions that support it, such as ventilation limitations, moisture staining and damp-prone zones. In Mitcham, bathrooms, laundries and under-house areas can show early mould indicators, and identifying them helps you plan ventilation, drainage or waterproofing improvements.
Learn more about Mould Presence in MitchamWe visually check accessible electrical components for obvious issues like aged fittings, DIY alterations and signs of heat or damage. Mitcham properties that have been updated room-by-room can end up with mixed-era electrical work, so this inspection helps highlight where a licensed electrician should investigate further.
Learn more about Electrical Visual Inspection in MitchamWe take precise floor level readings to identify unevenness and potential movement trends. This is particularly useful in Mitcham when you’re comparing original sections of a home to later extensions, or when sloping floors may indicate settlement, subfloor issues or moisture-related movement.
Learn more about Digital Floor Level Survey in MitchamWe visually confirm the presence and placement of smoke alarms and note gaps that should be addressed. In Mitcham, where many homes have been reconfigured with open-plan living or added bedrooms, this check helps ensure alarm coverage matches the current layout.
Learn more about Smoke Detectors Assessment in MitchamWe perform electrical polarity testing at accessible points to help detect wiring faults that can create shock risk. This matters in Mitcham homes with older wiring or DIY outlet changes, as polarity issues can be present even when power points appear to work normally.
Learn more about Electrical Safety Assessment in MitchamWe identify smaller defects that often become bigger costs—such as deteriorated sealants, minor roof/plumbing related indicators, sticking doors, and early timber or moisture damage. In Mitcham, these details can reveal patterns (like recurring dampness or maintenance neglect) that affect your ongoing budget.
