Thorough Building Inspections Harbour View

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
