What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
