What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
