What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home 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 pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
