Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
