Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
