Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
