We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
