Take Care to Look Out For

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
