Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
