How to detect common property repair and preservation problems
Many preservation problems go unseen and can only be detected by a qualified surveyor, however there are many small signs to help you spot common property problems to help with the property preservation and repair round your home both externally and internally.
External property repair and preservation problems
The easy way to determine whether you may have property maintenance or repair problems externally is to examine gutters, downpipes and drains for signs of deterioration; look out for:
- Vegetation growing out of gutters
- Slipped or loose slates
- Rusting or cracking cast iron down pipes and gutters
- Leaking overflow pipes
- Cracks in stonework
- Defective pointing
- Moss or lichen growing on the stonework
- Damp staining on stonework particularly adjacent to pipes.
- Damaged or overflowing drains
- Any other property preservation and repair problems
Internal property repair and preservation problems
Spotting signs of internal property problems and repairs is not quite so easy but in roofs and basement the following are useful pointers:
- Water staining in the roof void
- Defects in lead flashings round chimneys valleys and parapet walls
- Seals round baths and showers
- Condensation under the floor
- Any other property preservation and repair problems
