What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
