Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
