15 The crack under the window will need to be repaired by a certified repairer Cracks like this will allow water ingress into the dwelling wall space given the cladding is only 7.5mm thick and has no drainage systems in place to deal with excess water and no air flow behind the cladding system Further investigation is required to establish if there is any long term rot to the timber structure Photo X2 Window extrusion will need to be siliconed where it has cracked as these windows only rely on silicone for a weather tight seal Photo X3 High risk area of water ingress as there is no flashings to stop water getting in behind the cladding system Further investigation is required to establish if there is any long term rot to the timber structure Photo X4 Page 15

16 No capillary breaks where the cladding system meets the concrete ledge at the base of the dwelling If water is trapped behind the cladding it cannot get out and can rot out the timber framing long term It is possible this may have already happened Further investigation is required to establish if there is any long term rot to the timber structure Photo X5 Pergola is directly fixed to the cladding system and this could have a high risk of water ingress damage to the framing Any penetrations into the cladding system even if there was a cavity system is a high risk for water entry points Photo X6 No soffits The barge board trim has been nailed directly into the cladding system This is a very high risk area of water ingress issues from this method of construction Having no soffits will increase the risk of water ingress issues due to no weather protection above the windows and flashings Photo X7 Any additional comments: Action Required YES Page 16

24 SUMMARY 1994 dwelling Two levels Brick veneer and block and fibrolite with no cavity system needed on the fibrolite textured board at time of construction Aluminium windows Galvanised colour steel roof My concerns with this dwelling is that there are no soffits for weather protection on the windows or cladding system and given there are already a few leaks in the dwelling, what is the condition of the framing behind the cladding in these areas We have not had much rain over the last few months and given the moisture content and damaged skirting s on these areas of concern, there may already be long term damage to the framing These types of cladding systems do not have any spacing s between the cladding and framing and this will allow rot into the framing if water enters the wall space This dwelling is built up on the hill which will be more susceptible to wind and heavy rain on the cladding system and this makes this style of dwelling more vulnerable to leaks given the design and flashing systems and capillary breaks that have not been installed If you wish to proceed with this dwelling it will require an invasive test which will have a series of holes drilled through the exterior and samples of the timber sent to a lab for tests to see if there is any rot present The dwelling will also need a considerable amount of upgrading with flashings etc to try and minimise the risks of water ingress issues in the future or the other alternative is to re-clad the fibrolite areas on a cavity system and a new cladding material fitted All areas of concern are highlighted in my report and most will need a LBP builder to do the repairs Any questions please call Mark Muller 25 Years building experience 15 Years water ingress issues Small Claims Building Investigator for the Courts Page 24

25 FIRST CHOICE HOUSE INSPECTIONS DISCLAIMER / LIMITATIONS OF THIS REPORT Terms and Conditions Applicable to Residential Building Inspection Reports Purpose The building inspection report ( Report ) is prepared by First Choice House Inspections Limited ( FCHL ) for the specific purposes of assessing the general condition of the building and identifying defects that are readily apparent at the time of inspection based on the limited visual, non-invasive inspection as further described below in the Scope and Limitations & Exclusions sections. No responsibility is accepted in the event that the Report is used for any other purpose. Scope The Report is based on a limited visual, above ground, non-invasive inspection of the standard systems and components of the building. FCHL does not open up, uncover or dismantle any part of the building as part of the inspection or undertake any internal inspection of the building. The procedure for the inspection will be conducted in accordance with NZS 4306:2005. New Zealand Standard; Residential Property Inspection. Report Limitations & Exclusions The Report is a guide only (as per New Zealand Standards) and not a guarantee or warranty as to the state of the building or any product, system or feature in the building. Areas of the building that the inspector believes to be potential problem areas for moisture ingress are checked with a non-invasive moisture meter. Rotting of timber framing and/or the presence of toxic moulds however, can only be determined by invasive testing which requires the removal of wall linings. This cannot be done without the written consent of the owner and is outside the scope of the Report. The Report is not a specialist weathertightness report. FCHL accepts no responsibility or liability for any omission in its inspection or the Report related to defects or irregularities which are not reasonably visible at the time of the inspection or which relate to components of the building: - which are below ground or which are concealed or closed in behind finished surfaces (such as plumbing, drainage, heating, framing, ventilation, insulation or wiring); - which required the moving of anything which impeded access or limited visibility (such as floor coverings, furniture, appliances, personal property, vehicles, vegetation, debris or soil) FCHL does not move owner/occupier items for the purposes of the inspection; - to which access is not reasonably and safely available to carry out a visual inspection. This may include roofs, subfloor areas and ceiling cavities and high, constricted or dangerous areas for which inspection is not permitted by Occupational Safety and Health regulations. In addition, the customer accepts that FCHL will not detect some defects because: the defect may only occur intermittently; the defect has been deliberately concealed; or FCHL has been given incorrect information by the customer or any third party. If you believe that any of these circumstances apply then you should immediately contact FCHL in order to try and resolve. Any area, system or component of the building or any item, feature or system not specifically identified in the Report as having been inspected was not included in the scope of the inspection. This includes the condition and location of any special features or services, underground services drainage or of any systems including electrical, plumbing, gas or heating except as otherwise may be described in the Report.

28 FUTURE ISSUES A MUST READ Recent court rulings as to how building and moisture inspections are reported are now required. The rulings apply to all buildings not compliant with current codes. This means if a building was compliant at the time of construction but methods materials along with flashings and a new building code has changed since this dwelling was constructed. Inspectors must report on future potential issues that are likely to adversely affect the buildings future durability in those areas in which the specification has now been upgraded. This is done regardless if there were no issues found on the day of inspection. Should future issues occur they are more likely to happen around areas described as a high risk. Most of these areas are proven to be flashings around windows and doors, internal guttering, eaves, external fittings such as lighting, joins in sheets which crack and parapet capping s FCHIL advises that if moisture or building inspection was satisfactory on the day of inspection but the dwelling was built prior to the current building code the following may occur. Flashings around windows and doors. Current code ensures that if moisture gains access for whatever reason it can get out without damaging the timber. Prior to the current codes, inspections of flashing installation and the installation themselves were varied and sometimes unsatisfactory. The guarantee therefore that if moisture gets in it can get out cannot be given for houses not currently compliant. To minimize this risk it is recommended a yearly maintenance check to ensure there is no increased moisture levels. FCHL past experience tells us that, should moisture levels rise it is in most cases due to the comer miter join seals beginning to fail or the seal between the window cladding has broken. These areas are easy to fix Internal Guttering: If internal guttering becomes blocked and there are no insufficient overflows, water can build up quickly and backflow into the soffit which fills up and then may flow into the frame. If there is no soffit it may back flow directly into the frame. It is therefore essential that internal guttering is checked regularly for blockages. Where there is internal guttering and a soffit, a simple fix is to install grills every 2 meters. This allows any back flow that enters the soffit to exit via the grills before it reaches the frame. Cladding Joins: Any cracks that appear increase the risk of moisture entering the frame. All cracks should be raked and sealed. Eaves: Eaves provide limited protection to exterior cladding, the windows and doors. As the size of the soffit decrease, the risk of moisture entry increases because the water reaches the cladding, windows and doors more often. In addition, if driving rain has forced water under the tiles or parapet flashing, it may enter the frame. In the case of minimal eaves, the best protection is organising a method to prevent wind from forcing rain upwards and ensuring regular maintenance around windows and doors and repairing cracks as they may show. Page 28

29 Parapets: Where a building has parapets, they should be capped. If there is no capping the material used to encase the frame may crack over time and allow moisture to enter the frame. A capping, usually metal, affords good protection. The sides of the capping can lift under high winds allowing water to enter the top. If the top is cracked, the water may then enter the frame. The fix is to regularly cast a visual eye to ensure no lifting of the skirt and if so, arrange for it to be realigned and resealed. Exterior Lights: The holes through which the cables pass to the external lights should be sealed. Water running down the wall can pool inside the light fitting. When it s sufficiently high it can reach the cable hole and flow into the frame. The fix is to take down the lights, check the holes are sealed then replace. The screws used to face the lights to the wall should be bound with silicon before replacing the unit. Page 29
