Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
