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

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
