Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
