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 rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
