Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been 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: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
