Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
