We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have 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 have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
