Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the 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.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. 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, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
