Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from 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 very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
