Thousands of new homes are now believed to contain serious leaks and rotting timber frames, creating a national repair bill estimated at $1 billion and a health threat from toxic mould.
Well-placed industry sources say one in 10 new homes - 2000 of the 20,000 built each year - are at risk of leaking and dozens of large-scale developments built in the past five to 10 years, some with 100 units or more, have serious problems that are only now becoming public.
