What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
