We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
