Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
