Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
