  • Structural Defects: Cracked walls, subsidence, leaking roofs, or faulty foundations pose significant risks to the integrity and safety of the property.
  • Faulty Plumbing and Drainage: Blocked drains, burst pipes, or malfunctioning plumbing systems can cause water damage, inconvenience, and potential health hazards.
  • Inadequate Heating and Insulation: Insufficient heating systems, poor insulation, and draughty windows make your home uncomfortable and increase energy costs.
