What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
