Hi everyone! I am new to this forum but have been reading forum posts from time to time. I would like to seek your advice regarding the leaky home issue. I have read that houses in the 1990's to early 2000's were often built with untreated timber which have high risk of being leaky homes. I would like to ask what is the best way to find out whether a house was built with treated timber or not. Sometimes I see that the building plan in the LIM report of some houses mention 'kiln dried timber framing' - does it imply 'treated' timber was used? Or is it that the actual material used can be different from what's written on the building plan in the LIM? Are there any other ways of finding out? Perhaps the council keeps some documents other than the LIM that can tell us about the timber used?
Also some places say the rule about the type of timber used was changed from 1998, some say 1992 or some say 1995. Would anyone please shed some light about when was the actual year of untreated timber began to be used?
Thank you all in advance!!!!
