What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
