What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
