Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
