Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
