What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
