What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
