Come & Snoop Around Outside the House with us…
Note the missing and decayed fascia board, potentially allowing vermin, birds or possums into the roof cavity.
Partially failed retaining wall
This downpipe is not connected, and there is also evidence of moisture in the eaves. This missing downpipe is preventing the roof water from being channelled into the storm water drain, causing greater moisture around the foundations.
Fretting to mortar joints in the chimney and deteriorated render. If left unrepaired, the chimney will not draw properly, and over time will collapse.
Here the guttering has separated from the ends of the rafters. This is not catching the roof water, and causes additional ground moisture around the foundations.
Substantial amounts of external cladding missing, potentially allowing frame deterioration, vermin access, and deterioration to internal linings.

Across the middle you can see rusted reinforcing steel (concrete cancer) breaking away the concrete edge
See that illegal stormwater pipe running down into the sewer system!
