What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
