Property buyers face real risks that are not always obvious at an open home. The area’s coastal location increases the chance of rust in steel floor supports due to salt air. Termites are common especially in Frankston homes, which makes a combined building and pest inspection highly recommended. Older homes in suburbs like Frankston North, Seaford, and Karingal can hide rising damp, deteriorating subfloor timbers, and asbestos behind walls.
Our building inspectors know what to look for because they have hands-on construction industry experience across property types. Every inspection is completed with a keen eye for detail and backed by the latest technology. That is why locals trust Ripple.
From first-home buyers to seasoned investors, our team delivers a reliable service you can count on. We provide every customer with a comprehensive building inspection report so you can feel confident about your property purchase.

A building inspection does not pass or fail a property. Instead, the building inspector documents all defects found during the inspection. Common issues identified include major structural defects such as significant cracking or foundation movement, roof damage, rising damp, faulty wiring, plumbing concerns, and termite damage. The inspection report gives you a detailed assessment of the property’s condition so you can make an informed decision about your purchase.
Absolutely. A professional building inspection can uncover hidden issues that could cost you thousands down the line. Our building inspectors identify structural issues, safety hazards, and pest activity that are not visible during a standard open home. The inspection report gives you the evidence to negotiate on price or request necessary repairs before settlement. Pre-purchase inspections are one of the smartest investments you can make during a property purchase.
In Victoria, the buyer typically pays for the pre-purchase building and pest inspection. It is an important part of the buying process. The cost of the inspection is a small investment compared to the potential cost of repairs for undiscovered defects. Some sellers also choose to get a pre-sale building inspection before listing their property.
A building and pest inspection includes a thorough assessment of the property’s structural integrity and a pest inspection for timber pests. The building inspection covers foundations, walls, roofs, ceilings, floors, subfloor spaces, drainage, and visible electrical and plumbing systems. The pest inspection covers termites, wood-boring insects, fungal decay, and conditions encouraging infestations. Standard pre purchase inspections do not always include pest inspections, which is why a combined building and pest inspection is recommended in areas like Frankston. Our pest inspectors check for droppings, damage to wood, nests, and other pests during every pest inspection.
A typical building inspection takes between 1.5 and 3 hours on site, depending on the property size and condition. Smaller houses usually require 60 to 90 minutes. You will receive a detailed report within 24 hours to help you uncover hidden issues before your property purchase.
