Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
