Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
