Common building defects in Schofields NSW
The photographs on this site come from three Schofields inspections, and they divide almost cleanly in two. Twenty four from a pre-purchase inspection: staining, clearances, cracking, a disconnected downpipe. Sixteen from a lock-up on attached housing: damp proof course, fire rated sealant, pressure flashings, coatings. Twelve from waterproofing, nearly all pinholes. That is the shape of the suburb in miniature, an established resale market beside an attached housing build market.
