Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
