Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
