What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
