We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
