What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
