Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
