Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
