We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
