Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
