Take Care to Look Out For

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
