What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
