What To Be On the Look Out For

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
