Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
