What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
