Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
