What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
