What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
