What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
