What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
