What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
