Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
