We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
