Take Care to Look Out For

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
