Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
