What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
