What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
