We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
