The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure 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.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
