Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
