What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
