We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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