We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
