What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
