Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
