Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. 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 is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, 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 would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
