Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check 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 won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
