Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
