We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
