Basic Package Narre Warren Building & Pest

What's Included in Your Package

7 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value

Major Structural Defects

We visually assess key structural elements such as walls, floors, roof framing and signs of movement to identify major defects that affect stability. In Narre Warren, we pay close attention to cracking patterns, out-of-square door frames and uneven floors that can indicate ongoing foundation movement rather than cosmetic settlement.

Major Building Defects

This covers major faults in the building fabric that can affect safety and value, including roof covering issues, drainage-related deterioration and significant water entry points. In Narre Warren homes, renovation work is common, so we look for defects linked to altered wet areas, poorly sealed penetrations and flashing failures around extensions.

Local Narre Warren Considerations

Narre Warren (3805) has a wide mix of brick veneer homes, townhouse developments and updated family homes, and that variety brings different risks: reactive ground movement showing as step cracking, wet-area leaks leading to hidden mould, older eaves and internal linings that may include asbestos-containing materials, and termite pressure where timber fencing, sleeper retaining walls and garden beds sit close to the house.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Basic Package suitable for Narre Warren brick veneer homes and townhouses?▼

Yes. Narre Warren has many brick veneer homes and newer townhouse builds, and the Basic Package is designed to catch the issues that matter most across both: major cracking and movement indicators, significant building defects, termite activity, mould, and visible safety hazards. We also include a visual asbestos survey (useful for older stock) and an electrical visual check to flag obvious safety concerns.

What does “visual” mean for structural, asbestos and electrical checks?▼

“Visual” means we assess accessible areas without invasive testing, cutting holes or moving heavy stored items. For structural and building defects, we look for visible signs of distress, water entry and deterioration. The asbestos survey is visual-only and flags suspect materials for further testing. The electrical inspection is visual-only and identifies obvious issues that should be checked by a licensed electrician.

Will this inspection find every defect in the property?▼

No inspection can find everything, especially where areas are concealed or inaccessible. The Basic Package is aimed at the higher-risk problems that influence buying decisions: major defects, pest evidence, mould indicators, and visible safety hazards. If you need deeper investigation (for example, invasive moisture testing or specialised reports), we can advise what to add based on what we see on the day.

Do termites pose a real risk in Narre Warren, especially near gardens and timber fences?▼
