Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
