What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
