Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
