What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
