This time of year autumn is coming to an end and heavy rains are forecast. Leaves and debris are common concerns in clogging up our gutters and downpipes which will cause rust and costly replacing of gutters. In time clogged downpipes will cause overflow followed by moisture damage to eaves and fascias.The small amount of time spent on maintaining gutters will save you hundreds in the future.

This week we came across a couple of common issues with wiring – common because these issues occur regularly as most owners will never see them. Faulty wiring is a common cause of household fires and these issues can get progressively worse over time.
These issues were found in 2 houses during Building Inspections in Melbourne’s inner south.
