Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
