This will allow wicking under the door head and under the cladding and will cause long term damage to the framing

It is possible damage to the framing may have already occurred


Photo X2

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


Photo X3

Window extrusion will need to be siliconed where it has cracked as these windows only rely on silicone for a weather tight seal

Photo X4

High risk area of water ingress as there is no flashings to stop water getting in behind the cladding system

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

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

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

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.

On request, specialist inspections can be arranged of weathertightness or structure or of any systems including electrical, plumbing, gas or heating. Descriptions in the Report of systems or appliances relate to the existence of such systems or appliances only and not the adequacy, efficiency or life expectancy of such systems or appliances. The Report:

- is not a structural survey, engineer’s report, weathertightness inspection or a report on the building’s seismic safety. FCHL can assist with arranging such arranging such specialist third party inspections upon request;

- does not assess compliance with the requirements of any legislation (including, any act, regulation, code or by-law) unless otherwise stated;

- is not a geotechnical, site or environmental report. FCHL makes no representation as to the existence or absence of any or “hazard” (as defined in the Health and Safety in Employment Act) or any “hazardous substance”, “natural hazard” or “contaminant” (as those terms are defined in the Resource Management Act) in the building or property;

Title and Local Authority Records FCHL has not undertaken any title search and assumes all improvements are within the legal boundaries of the property. No survey of the property or any search of information held by the territorial authority or any other relevant authority has been undertaken. It is recommended that the customer conducts its own Land Information Memorandum or Council property file search. Unit Title Properties If the property is a Unit Title property, the inspection and Report is limited to the actual unit and any accessory unit(s) and does not extend to the remainder of the building or the common areas. FCHL recommends the customer obtain a copy of the financial statements and minutes from meetings of the Body Corporate to establish the history of the inspected property under such Body Corporate. Responsibility to Third Parties Our responsibility in connection with this Report is limited to the customer to whom the Report is addressed and to that customer only. We disclaim all responsibility and will accept no liability to any other party without first obtaining the written consent of FCHL and the author of the Report. FCHL reserves the right to alter, amend, explain or limit any information given to any other party. Publication Neither the whole nor any part of the Report (or any other report provided by FCHL, whether written or verbal) may be published or included in any published document, circular or statement whether in hard copy or electronic form or otherwise disseminated or sold without the prior written approval of FCHL and the inspector. Claims & Disputes

Should any dispute arise as a result of the inspection or the Report, it must be submitted to FCHL in writing as soon as practically possible but in any case, within ten working days of discovery. The customer agrees that in the event of a dispute, the contents of the Report may not be used to satisfy any terms of a sale and purchase agreement until the disagreement/dispute has been resolved. In the event the customer nevertheless enters into an unconditional agreement for purchase of the subject property or makes an existing agreement

unconditional prior to resolution of the dispute, the customer shall be deemed to have waived the customer’s rights to continue with and/or make any future claim against FCHL in relation to that matter.

Any claim relating to the accuracy of the Report, in the form of errors or omissions is limited to the failure on the part of FCHL to follow the Standards of Practice of the New Zealand Standard; NZS 4306:2005 Residential Property Inspection (a copy can be made available for viewing if required).

Except in the case of an emergency, the customer further agrees not to disturb, repair, replace or alter anything that may constitute evidence relating to the dispute or claimed discrepancy before FCHL has had an opportunity to re-inspect and investigate the claim. The Customer understands and agrees that any failure to notify FCHL or permit FCHL to re-inspect as stated above shall be deemed to be a waiver of the customer’s rights to continue with and/or make any future claim against FCHL in relation to that matter.

Limitation of Liability

The customer acknowledges and agrees that the director(s) and employee(s) of FCHL shall not be held liable to the customer.

FCHL shall have no liability to the customer for any indirect or consequential loss of whatever nature suffered by the customer or any other person and the customer hereby indemnifies FCHL in respect of any claims concerning any such loss.

Subject to any statutory provisions, if FCHL becomes liable to the customer for any reason, for any loss, damage, harm or injury in any way connected with the completion of the inspection and/or the Report, FCHL’s total liability shall be limited to a sum not exceeding $5,000.

Consumer Guarantees Act

Nothing contained in these terms and conditions shall be deemed to exclude or restrict any rights or remedies that the customer may have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or otherwise at law. Partial Invalidity

If any provision in these terms and conditions is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be excluded or read down to the extent necessary to make the provision legal, valid or enforceable, and the remaining provisions of these terms and conditions shall not be affected.

“All our building inspections and reports are subject to our standard terms and conditions. This is an important legal document. Please take the time to read it before ordering any inspection or other services. Our standard terms and conditions exclude certain types of liability and limit our total liability to customers in the event of any problems.”

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.

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.
