Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: 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 won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
