What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
