What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
