We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
