We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
