Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
