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 the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
