Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re 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.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
