Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
