下面是building inspection Report的一部分节选。这是一个七年新的duplex。做inspection的时候正好我们在场，那个inspector说如果我们还没签合同就不要签，可是我们已经签了。所以请大家帮忙看看下面这些问题到底有多严重？主要是那个墙上的裂缝和墙面的泡泡。 有朋友说墙面的裂缝只是水泥（render）的裂缝，不是大问题，但如果是地基的问题就麻烦了，怎么看到底是水泥还是地基的裂缝了？
还有如何判断导致墙面的水泡得湿气是从何而来？
另外，如果楼上handbasin水流慢，是大问题吗？
对建筑方面真的是一窍不通 ，所以请高手指教，多谢了
FAULTS
1. Considerable cracking is present in the exterior painted cement rendered walls at various
locations indicating that the builder has not incorporated sufficient techniques in the
construction of this building to prevent cracks from appearing. These techniques may
include, but are not limited to, the omission of vertical articulation joints, the installation of
insufficient articulation joints or the omission of slip joints and although no instability in
the walls could be identified, some risk is present that cracking may increase in extent and
severity in the future.
2. Considerable flaking is present along the surfaces of the exterior painted cement rendered
walls at the front side and rear of the house indicating the builder has not incorporated
sufficient techniques in the construction of the building to prevent damp from occurring.
These techniques may include, but are not limited to, the omission or incorrect installation
of a damp course, the omission, insufficient installation or incorrect installation of weep
holes or the filling of the cavity with rubble.
Extensive patching and painting of the exterior walls is now required to obtain a
satisfactory finish, a repair that will necessitate the complete re-painting of the exterior of
the house with costs being in the order of $15,000 to $20,000 depending on the quality of
workmanship performed. However, some risk is present that further movements of the
walls may occur and further cracking at these locations may appear. Some risk is also
present that flaking along the surface of the walls will also reappear in the future but this is
difficult to predict.
3. Flaking is also present along the cement rendered posts and beams above the first floor
balcony at the front of the house due to damp penetration into the posts and beams and
waterproofing of the posts and beams should now be undertaken with costs being in the
order of $1,800.
4. The internal wall linings in some rooms are cracked due to the slight movements of the
timber wall framing to which the wall linings are attached. This condition is superficial in
nature only and has no structural connotations, however, patching and painting of the cracks
is now required to obtain a satisfactory finish although some risk is present that further
movements of the timberwork will occur and further cracking at these locations or in other
areas may appear but this is difficult to predict.
STRUCTURAL DEFECTS
1. Considerable cracking is present in the exterior painted cement rendered walls and although
no instability has resulted at present, cracking may increase in extent and severity in the
future.
DAMPNESS
Damp penetration into this house may occur at the following locations:
1. Flaking is present along the surface of the exterior walls due to damp penetration into the
walls.
2. Flaking is present along the surfaces of the cement rendered posts and beams above the
front balcony.
3. Buildings on concrete floors are constructed very close to the ground, a condition that can
result in damp entry internally during certain weather conditions.
4. Damp meter readings taken about the surfaces of the internal walls near the floors revealed
no evidence of damp at the time of this inspection. Nevertheless, damp can appear at any
time in the future for various reasons including, but not limited to changes in the weather
pattern, a breakdown of any damp course that may have been installed in the walls, or
concealment of damp by the application of various paints or waterproof membranes to the
walls. Please note carefully that we accept no responsibility for any damp that may appear
at any time in the future. (Photo 3)
5. A box gutters has been installed to collect rain water from a section of the roof. No
evidence overflowing of the box gutter was visible at the time of this inspection but box
gutters are notorious for overflowing and allowing rain water entry through the roof during
certain weather conditions.
6. The exterior walls should be continually treated with a good quality paint or waterproof
membrane to prevent damp penetration through the walls from the exterior.
7. No evidence of water seepage through the balcony floor was visible at the time of this
inspection but if seepage appears, replacement of the tiles and renewal of the waterproof
membrane will be necessary.

Are there any photos?

刚加了图片，谢谢
评论
我是新手，我也不懂。
是你们做的inspection 吗？那为什么不等结果就签啦！
评论
是我们做的，新手不懂啊，签完才做估计要损失2000块了
评论
报告看着是不太好。慎重点吧。
评论
既然报告这么说，还是慎重点好
评论
这个房子估计是不要了，但还是想知道这些问题到底有多严重？
评论
还在cooling off period吗？咨询下律师，看看能不能退回小定吧
评论
七年新的duplex的render不应该这么新。从照片上感觉新抹上的render是为了特意掩盖结构上的裂缝。
具体的crack原因和程度通过report和照片很难看出，周围的地形是什么样的？有很大的garden吗？
第二张照片的bubble看上去更象是墙里面的水管漏水，或者防水没做好。墙的另一边是什么？厕所或者厨房吗？
评论
另外这栋楼是full brick吗？信息太少，很难判断阿。
评论
还在cooling off period, 不过不能退回小定。
评论
render可能是新的吧。房子brick veneer， 不是full brick。 起水泡得是lounge的外面，不是厨房。
评论
看报告，问题挺多的。LZ慎重啊
评论
又和inspector电话联络，他说这就是一个lousy builder建的poor building，房子不会倒但是估计过几年就要烫一下水泥遮那些裂缝
评论
7年的brick veneer房子砖墙上有裂缝很正常，如果没有倒有些奇怪了。
倒是从第二张照片上看，墙下没有ventilation很奇怪。这导致墙里面的水出不来，造成dampness。
要说修的话，在墙下加几个ventilation，然后用epoxy把joint补一下，render抹一下，应该没什么大问题。这些的前提都是在房子周围没有大片绿地的情况下。
一家之言，仅供参考。
评论
谢谢，第二张图片上有竖孔阿，那个不是ventilation吗？
另外，大片绿地有什么影响吗？
评论
你哪个州啊？QLD的标准合同是settle之前你有任何不满都可以terminate contract。定金全退。你仔细看看合同。
评论
NSW的，好像退不了
评论
扫了一眼报告，结构上偷工减料，防潮方面做得不规范。。。。。。
你有没有subject to building inspection?
评论
没有啊。新手，第一次看房就定了，被中介忽悠的不马上签合同就会被别人抢了，所以没找律师看合同，没做building inspection
就签了合同。教训啊
评论
articulation joints没有，slip joints没有，weep hole做那么高，潮气怎么出去？
不知道改造这些要花多少钱。房子先天不足。反悔要花多少钱？小定金，还是大定金？
评论
您真是专家阿，说得这些我都不懂 。 小订，所以决定放弃算了。再小声问一句，以后有建筑方面的问题能问您吗?发现现在这边新盖的房子质量都不怎么样阿，偷工减料
评论
小定没事，才几千块。总比以后花上万修，到头来还卖不掉要好。
我不是专家，坛子里很多专业人士的。
评论
articulation joints和slip joints是砖房抗裂的手段。
Articulation joints
Brick veneer construction is very brittle and susceptible to cracking due to movement. Movement occurs for many different reasons, including variations in climate or temperature, movement in the frame and movement in the foundations. Articulation joints accommodate these movements in a building.
评论
that vetilation location is too high... and there are no weepholes shown on the pics
评论
there are a lot of dodgy builders not using articulation joint when they build brick wall, it will save them some money on time, labour and material. It is kind of a grey area in brick laying trade. And from the pics I am not sure if the reason of crack is lack of articulation joint, because there is only one horizental crack on the wall, it is just a possibility.
评论
安慰一下，帮你谴责中介我当初买房的时候也是事后发现中介当初看房时跟我说的话全是假的，不过还好那些假话没有造成我什么损失。感谢一朋友当初告诉我一定要律师看完合同才能签字，千万不要在中介的办公室签字
评论
是啊，如果没有vertical articulation joint，应该是纵向开裂吧？
评论
好像没有纵向开裂阿
