What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
