Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
