We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
