We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
