We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
