What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
