Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
