We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
