David Roth from iSPECT Building Inspections Caroline Springs Victoria is an experienced builder and licensed pest inspector who conducts daily combined building and pest inspections of apartments, units, homes, townhouses, and commercial properties across Caroline Springs and the City of Melton. The decision to add a pest inspection to a building defect inspection is a wise choice that can potentially save you thousands of dollars on repair bills. During the 1 to 2-hour inspection, depending on property size, David will complete a comprehensive visual assessment of accessible areas to determine structural integrity and identify major structural defects. This covers the interior and exterior of the building, roof space, garage, carport, garden shed, separate laundry or toilet, small retaining walls, steps, fencing, paths, driveways, roof exterior, and under-floor space. Simultaneously, David will test for pests, termites, and borer activity. He will be on the lookout for hollow sounds on wooden structures, the appearance of mud tubes, bubbling or peeling paint, small holes, water damage, buckling walls or ceilings, maze-like designs in timber, termite droppings, and the appearance of swarms. David will grade the severity of each defect and alert you to any conditions conducive to pest or termite activity. You will receive a detailed digital report in PDF format, complete with high-resolution colour photographs, within 24 hours of the inspection. Each report is completed in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007 and the Victoria Building Act. We highly recommend you are present during the inspection so David can communicate findings directly and address any specific areas of concern.
