Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
