Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
