What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
