What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
