A comprehensive building and pest inspection conducted by Aaron Perez, an experienced builder and licensed pest inspector, serving residential and commercial properties across Reservoir VIC and the City of Darebin. This thorough service is designed to identify property defects and detect signs of pest or termite activity in apartments, units, homes, townhouses, and commercial buildings. The inspection takes approximately 1 to 2 hours depending on the property size and covers all accessible areas, including the building's interior and exterior, roof space, roof exterior, under-floor space, garage, carport, garden shed, separate laundry or toilet, small retaining walls, steps, fencing, paths, and driveways. During the assessment, the inspector grades the severity of each defect and meticulously tests for pests, termites, and borer activity. Key indicators of infestation checked include hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes, bubbling or peeling paint, small entry holes, water damage, buckling walls or ceilings, maze-like designs in wood, termite droppings that resemble sawdust or coffee grounds, and the appearance of spring swarms. Completed in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007 and the Victoria Building Act, the service provides a detailed digital report in PDF format containing high-resolution color photographs within 24 hours, ensuring you are fully informed about the property's structural viability and any conditions conducive to pest activity.
