What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used 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: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
