What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
