Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
