We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
