Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
