What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
