What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household 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, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
