What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
