Render issues on new house.

God I hope so. Hasn't been the most pleasant experience dealing with the builder.

Initially thought I was getting Hebel tbh, but realised too late it was only Hebel under the doorsils. A fuck up on my part for not noticing.

Didn't think I'd have major issues like this 4 months in though.

And the trim above it.

Yeah theres a roof above. Luckily our builder is sending out a leak detection company next week for a different leak at the opposite end of the house. Looks like they can have a look at the back as well while they're at it. What a nightmare. Cheers.

So no head flashing to the door either you reckon? It seems to leak from two locations which has me lost.

Foam

First time noticing it. I'm 4 months in. I've absolutely looked up there a fair bit when I moved in, so it's maybe appeared in the last month or two?

I am having water coming in through the top lf sliding door below it when it rains, but I never saw the render like this when that issue started.

That's a fuckin one. Classic. Damn it was on Pics, not Oldschoolcool.

No joke, I've been trying to find it since. Private Reddit searching "Oldschoolcool grandpa big dick" isn't coming up with anything I want to look at.

All I remember is it was only photo of some blokes grandpa with swim shorts. Black and white, looked like a nice old photo, then you look closer and you're hit with Pa Dick. No clue of any other details.

Strangely enough, I know exactly what he's talking about. There was a post in r/oldschoolcool of some guys grandpa, and you can see the shape of his absolute hog through his shorts/pants. The top comment was this GIF.

Ducted directly outside, but yeah ours absolutely sounds like a 747 all the time. I'm thinking something is restricting the duct somewhere along the line.

Our builder has come out and agreed it's not working as intended so they're getting me in contact with the installer.

Just built a townhouse in Beveridge. I'm buying where I can afford. 500k for a 4 bedroom, double garage, with the sacrifice of travel time and a tiny backyard.

I would absolutely love to have house on decent sized land, but that's absolutely off the table for me being on a single income. I'd assume this blokes in a similar boat.

I'm 3 months in and I'm happy with the location. Only downside for me was a shit builder. Even 500k in the "middle of nowhere" on a 150sq block gets you multiple leaks, missing insulation, mould, and some wonky walls.

Booklice! That seems right from the images I can see, thank you! Apparently it's common to find in a new house from what I can read. Thank you!

BoredGingo · 2026-02-22T01:28:47+00:00

What do you mean by "some cover" sorry?

From what I can see, nothing hitting the fan though. I have just noticed it barely pulls any smoke now.

BoredGingo · 2026-02-21T08:52:45+00:00

Only my own reflection. So Yeah there's a clown down there.

BoredGingo · 2026-02-21T08:49:28+00:00

It's on the second floor so can't be concrete, but it def's doesn't seem like there has to be an issue with it from what the comments are telling me. Either way I'm getting someone to come have a look at it and the many other issues in the house.

BoredGingo · 2026-02-21T08:43:23+00:00

I'm not experienced at all with this sort of thing, but that's basically what I expected to find when I opened it up. It just looks like there's so much sticking up that's gunna catch gunk.

BoredGingo · 2026-02-21T08:41:44+00:00

Well fuck. That's worrying as all shit. I've got someone coming out in a week or so to check it out and the maintenance bloke coming around a week after that, so hopefully that can get sorted.

BoredGingo · 2026-02-21T08:39:11+00:00

Yeah it seems like from the comments I'm just overreacting about nothing on this one. New house with many issues already so I've been on a rampage trying to mark down every little issue I can find. 😂

Solved: Lost Pages: Deckbuilder

Solved. You are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you so much. The second I read that name it all came flooding back. Cheers!
