What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
