Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
