What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
