What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
