Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
