We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
