Take Care to Look Out For

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
