What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
