Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
