What To Be On the Look Out For

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
